Purdue Men’s Basketball: How to Watch Purdue (1-2) vs. THE Ohio University (2-0) & Fan Discussion

Purdue men’s basketball remains in Mackey arena tonight for their fourth game of the season. This one against THE Ohio University Bobcats. Purdue has struggled in their two home games this season, to put it mildly, with a loss to Valparaiso and a 21-2 run saving them from the same fate against Illinois State. It’s been a rocky start to the season for the Boilermakers who have a few more warm-up games before they get into the bulk of their schedule. You can read Casey’s preview of the Bobcats right here.

Long story short this is another game that Purdue SHOULD win. Purdue sits at 37th in KenPom while Ohio is 131st. Is that all that matters? Of course not, Valparaiso for instance sits at 127 and we saw what happened there, but it should allow us to understand the setup. Purdue needs consistent scoring from beyond the arc, they need to be able to consistently get the ball to Daniel Jacobsen, and they need to play better defense. Should be easy right? Let’s hope.
