The sound figures to match the fury tonight in Mackey Arena when the Ohio State and Purdue women?s basketball teams meet for the only time during the Big Ten regular season.
The Buckeyes (18-1, 7-0) and Boilermakers (19-3, 8-0) are the final unbeaten teams in conference play. The showdown is as rich as Alan Ladd facing off with Jack Palance in the climax of Shane. Good guys and bad guys, of course, always are a matter of perspective and rooting interests.
