MFD, Roberson, and Henderson.
They all three were VERY good on Saturday. They each seemed to answer the call of the 10 day reset after the two losses. But tonight, you just know Purdue will be focused on Jones and LaChance a ton. In fact, LaChance may draw their best wing defender after what he did to them last year. So other guys will need to be on their A games. That's where MFD could potentially sting them. Pursue has length, but not quickness on the perimeter. MFD has length and likely even a bit of a quickness advantage in this game at the three. Here's hoping he gets white hot from deep and that he casts up more than his typical number of shots. I'd unleash MFD from deep in this game, and I'm talking out to 25 feet deep. Jones will need help inside on both ends. So Hendo will have to go toe to toe with their really good 7 footers at times. And Roberson draws the toughest matchup of the night in their 6'9, 250# Five Star PF....sheesh. I really hope he can bother that dude defensively. But perhaps he can cause him more trouble from the wing on the other end, since the Purdue Rivals guy says that is where he has struggled this year.
If the above three guys have big games, we could win this game tonight. But it will be a monumental task and will take a whole lot of focus and intensity from the entire team.
Go Dores!!!!
