NCAA BBALL (2-6) (-6.8 UNITS) ROUGH START
TRYING TO MAKE UP SOME GROUND QUICK
****PURDUE -1
I really think if Purdue can make this a half court ball game they will win. Tennessee strives in an up and down game, which favors their athletes and depth. I do believe that Purdue has the athletes to match the Vols, but maybe not the same amount of depth. Staying out of foul trouble is key and playing good 3pt defense. Neither team has played anyone of real substance so far, so it is somewhat hard to gauge this game. Last year the Vols simply had trouble with teams that make them work to score and force them to play defense. I think Purdue fits that mold.
