Hawkeyes are a 5.5-point favorite with a total of 142.5.

Is Kreiner starting? To me, that would be more than a ceremonial start for a senior who has put his heart and sweat into this program. With the size Purdue brings, keeping Garza out of early foul trouble could be very important.

Huge game for several reasons. Still a chance at a double bye, still a chance to improve our seed in the dance

Hawkeyes by a million

I bet he starts but you are right.

Fran pretty much always starts the seniors on senior night. Even did with Dale Jones.

Kriener is not listed as the starter in official game notes.

It's JT, CJF, JW, CM and LG.

It could also be the case that Kreiner told Fran he did not want a ceremonial start. The kid is the ultimate team guy and may have told Fran, start your starters and I will get my minutes.
