As long as they maintain their intensity, work the offense inside-out, and avoid the shaky shooting that's happened in a couple recent games, they have the advantages on both teams. OSU is a team that I believe can fuck with Purdue if they look ahead to Sparty, but I doubt that'll happen.

In regards to Sparty, even on the road: Jaren Jackson Jr is their biggest advantage but he can't stay on the floor. Edwards is better than Winston. V Edwards is honestly better than Bridges (or he has been this season, at least). Haas is better than Ward. Purdue has the personnel advantage at every position when JJJ isn't out there. Get him in foul trouble (should be doable), keep attacking their interior (Ward CANNOT defend the PNR to save his life, so keep him active), and Purdue can come out of Lansing with a win.
