Purdue rank 3rd in the nation in total rebounding per game. Texas-Arlington rank first by the way, and that's where the Bucks lost that game (UTA was +9 in rebound margin). Throw in this game is at Purdue and the Bucks' confidence can't be high right now, and this has the makings of another long night.

But we've also been positively surprised by our team at times this season, so I plan on watching.

If this game starts at 9 PM, I will be shocked because the following game probably will get drawn out at the end if it is a close game. You know because of all your favorite "tactics" that take place at the end of games :biggrin2:

Bucks up 13-9 at the 2nd TV time out. It was 17-21 at this point in the Maryland game, so stay tuned. :popcorn:
