Should be an interesting test. Purdue plays about 7 players and doesn't have much size. Their tallest starter is Harris at 6-1 and they have a 6-6 player who plays about ten minutes per game off the bench. They seem to play tight defense and force turnovers. They split with Rutgers and neither team shot well. If we are patient and take care of the ball we should be able to wear them down for Megan. Good luck and good shooting for the Hawks.
