Kyle's Keys (Purdouche Edition)

      "KYLE'S KEYS"          

        Purdue Edition

1. TURNOVERS - In the loss against Ohio State last weekend IU had 15 turnover.  But in the 3 previous games, which were all wins, IU had 10 or less.  When the Hoosiers offense is operating at it's best they aren't forcing themselves into bad turnovers.  IU has to push the ball, but do so under control.  Can't have bad turnovers, when they are driving on the break and have numbers.  IU must (in my opinion) have 10 or fewer turnovers to help get this WIN.

2. REBOUNDING - Indiana has (believe it or not) has out rebounded their opponents in 9 of the last 11 games since Louisville beat them up.  Purdue even with their 2 BIG men have been getting killed on the glass the last few games.  Iowa had 24 offensive rebounds and Purdue all together only had 31 total rebounds, but to Purdue's credit they did end up pulling out the win. Earlier in that week in a loss against Illinois, the Illini had 16 offensive boards and 43 rebounds overall.  With the way IU shoots the 3's it will lead to long rebounds.  The Hoosiers use their quickness and beat Purdue to the ball .

3. TEMPO- Indiana must get out and push the ball every chance they get. First and maybe most important, is it's what the Hoosiers do. Also it will get the Boilermakers BIG men in 7 footer AJ Hammons and 7 foot 2 inch freshman Isaac Haas to have to run with us which will lead to fatigue.  Which will lead to them making lazy and tired fouls.

My prediction is IU 86  and  PURDUE 74
