No. 2 Purdue can clinch a share of its second consecutive Big Ten regular season title with a win over Michigan State on Saturday night.
The Boilermakers (25-3) have coasted through the conference, mounting a 14-3 record in Big Ten play. And they have handled the Spartans in recent history, too: Purdue has won seven of its last eight games against Michigan State.
Zach Edey is putting the finishing touches on another spectacular season, as the 7-foot-4 center is the odds-on favorite to win the Wooden Award for the second straight year. Edey, a senior, is averaging 23.7 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, on the heels of a dominant 35-point, 15-rebound performance in Sunday’s win over Michigan.
The Spartans began the year with seismic expectations, ranked as the No. 4 team in the preseason AP poll. But as March begins, Michigan State (17-11) is simply hoping to stay on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble, having lost two consecutive games to non-tournament teams in Iowa and Ohio State.
Still, Tom Izzo’s group touts plenty of talent. Tyson Walker and AJ Hoggard are a veteran backcourt duo, with Walker averaging 18.1 points in his fifth college season.
