The year of pretenders in the top 5 continues as Purdue wiped the floor with Michigan State last night. The Boilermakers have been over achieving this year and made their run much more impressive with this win.
Purdue forced 22 turnovers, blocked eight shots and held Michigan State to 33 percent shooting.The Boilermakers (20-6, 9-4 Big Ten), who have five games left, won their third straight and moved within one game of the Spartans in the conference standings. So it is a ridiculously huge win. JaJuan Johnson scored 17 points, E'Twaun Moore had 13 and Robbie Hummel added 11 for Purdue in his first start since missing three games with a hairline fracture in his lower back. Michigan State will need to find more scoring if they want to make a run in the tourney. Their scoring or lack there of would scare the hell out of me going into March.
