With a win, Purdue could clinch the outright Big Ten title.
Mark Hoffman, USA Today Sports
Purdue has the opportunity tonight to do what they failed to do against IU and claim an outright Big Ten title with a victory rather than take a stake by someone else losing (this of course all depends on what Michigan does in the second half against Illinois). Going to Wisconsin is never easy but this season has been strange in Madison. Wisconsin has been rotating between wins and losses for about 9 games now and if the pattern continues, a win is set. Styles are not important though. The important thing is the effort. Purdue needs to come out strong and find a way to get back on track.
