This matchup features the Ohio Bobcats out of the MAC and the Purdue Boilermakers out of the Big Ten. The Boilermakers are looking to avoid an upset and keep from falling to .500, while the Bobcats are looking for a signature win to help them prepare for their MAC schedule.
This will be the first ever meeting between Ohio and Purdue.
Ohio Bobcats
Ohio currently sits at 7-3 overall and are currently on a two game winning streak.
The Bobcats will need to focus on winning the rebounding battle in this particular game. They are averaging 41.5 rebounds per game, which ranks 20th in the country. Because they only shoot 28.6% from three point range, they will likely need to rely on their mid-range and low-post game. The Bobcats will need another strong performance from leading scorer, Jason Carter. He averages 19.3 points per game and 6.8 rebounds per game. Carter has scored double digits in 9 of the 10 games this year and will definitely need to have another standout performance if the Bobcats are going to have a chance.

The Bobcats seem to have focused their defensive efforts on defending the three this year. They have allowed opponents to shoot 33.8% from deep. Look for the Bobcats to limit the Boilermakers second chance points by limiting their offensive rebounds.
Purdue Boilermakers
Purdue started the season strong, winning their first four games in a row. Since then they have gone 2-5 and are desperately needing a win. This game comes in the middle of a two game losing streak and a game the Boilermakers cannot really afford to lose. They obviously have a lot more tough conference games coming up, so every non-conference win will be vital to their NCAA tournament hopes.
Most of the Boilermakers offense runs through leading scorer, Carsen Edwards. Edwards scores an average of 25.6 points per game and is one of the best guards in the entire country. He also has not scored less than 19 points in a game this year and is sure to light up the scoreboard once again.

The best thing so far about the Boilermaker defense is their ability to box out and limit rebounds. Their opponents average 26.6 rebounds per game, which ranks 16th in the country. Considering that Ohio is a top 20 rebounding team, this will likely be a major factor to watch for if the Boilermakers are going to get back into the win column.
