Big Ten basketball game of the week* open thread

(Because OPEN THREADs shouldn't just be left to football season.)

This week it's Purdue at Michigan State. Game coverage starts at 9:00PM on ESPN.

But first, your conference standings:

                     |------CONFERENCE-------| |--------OVERALL--------|
STANDINGS              W-L     Pct    PF    PA   W-L     Pct    PF    PA
---------              ---     ---    --    --   ---     ---    --    --
Michigan State......   9-2    .818  67.5  62.2  19-5    .792  75.2  64.5
Wisconsin...........   8-3    .727  61.6  53.7  18-5    .783  67.8  56.2
Ohio State..........   8-3    .727  67.9  61.6  18-6    .750  74.6  60.8
Illinois............   8-3    .727  69.2  66.1  16-8    .667  74.2  67.0
Purdue..............   7-3    .700  69.9  64.6  19-3    .864  75.0  62.1
Minnesota...........   5-5    .500  68.3  70.1  14-8    .636  75.1  64.1
Northwestern........   5-6    .455  68.0  69.7  16-7    .696  69.2  63.4
Michigan............   4-7    .364  59.3  59.8  11-12   .478  65.2  61.6
Indiana.............   3-7    .300  62.7  70.4   9-13   .409  69.4  69.6
Iowa................   2-9    .182  56.6  64.5   8-16   .333  61.1  65.0
Penn State..........   0-11   .000  59.9  68.5   8-15   .348  65.1  64.2 [PENN STATE HAS RETURNED TO THE ATLANTIC 10 AND IS DOING JUST FINE]

The situation: MSU still sits up front, but they're looking very iffy with two games against Purdue and a game against Ohio State Evan Turner all upcoming. And also, their best player, point guard Kalin Lucas, has an injured ankle and is "questionable". They tried starting Chris Allen (who is a solid SG) at PG against Illinois - epic failure. Then Lucas's main backup - Korie Lucious - stepped in and also played disastrously. You may see solid minutes from walk-on Mike Kebler - who scored no points against Ill. but had two assists and kept the offense running smoothly.

If Purdue is to even have a shot at winning the crown, a win tonight is essential because I don't think they're winning in Columbus and Kalin Lucas will eventually return for the second Purdue-MSU game.

Prediction? Boilermakers. Simply put: Purdue's pressure defense exploits MSU's biggest weakness: turnovers.

* - the game chosen for Big Ten Basketball game of the week open thread series is chosen arbitrarily by me. However, don't worry, I'll never pick something horrible like Iowa-Northwestern, Wisconsin-Iowa, or a Penn State game.

I haven't found any info on the officials.

But I hope it’s Hightower and his companion Valentine again. I want to see Izzo’s face melt.

Illinois is a very, very borderline NCAA team at best.

Texas is a lot like a more talented Penn State.

Poor fundamentals, bad free throw shooting, and bad shot selection.

I don’t remember the name of their coach, but he is not very good.

Most disappointing Big Ten team:

Minnesota. I honestly expected them to be a 5 seed this year. Their fans were pumped, they had depth inside, good shooters in Hoffarber and Joseph. I don’t get it.
