Michigan is legit. Hottest team in the league. They are back to what they were early season.

This could be it for Purdue, loss here and they are 14-14...would have to win all 3 of their remaining games to get back to serious bubble contention. Indiana, at Iowa, Rutgers.

Yeah they round into form just at the right time to give us 2 Ls... Good news is that we've seen plenty of good competition this year. We've faired well. Now it's on us to close down the challenge from other mid pack big 10 teams

Our two losses looking better and better and hope it builds confidence for team. Thought their status would be determined far before us
Have no idea how they will react last game.
I guess if a fan they could still do damage in conference tourney.

Cannot figure out this Purdue team. They beat Virginia by 29, Michigan State by 29, Iowa by 36, and at Indiana by 12. Yet they are 14-13 and look like garbage in half their games.

Purdue 6 fouls 2nd half against them at home, four and change left. Wish RU got that kind of benefit. How many fouls we get against Michigan 2x. Just sayin....

17-14 regular season. 1 and 1 in the big tournament. I don’t see it

With Livers Michigan has the talent to win the B1G Tournament and be a threat to win 3-4 games in the NCAA Tournament.

With Michigan's win today they are in a tie with us for 7th in the standings. It is Purdue's 10th loss. Minnesota is 6-9. Northwestern and Nebraska are 13/14. Think that list might be 11-14 on Day 1 of the B1G tournament.

Avoiding that first day would be big for us.

the danger is RU losing them at all and finishing 9-11 tied with Purdue who beat RU/Indy lose to Iowa and finish 9-11. if no other team is tied, I think they go to who beat the higher ranked school. If PSU can get 2nd, we would get that tiebreak

I think Nebraska,Northwestern,Minnesota ans Purdue are knocked out of NCAA consideration which leaves 10 teams to battle for selection and seeding.Indiana is the next team I want to see lose and get knocked out.

If we lose them all, we don’t deserve to go. It will tell everyone all they need to know.

More confident for RU after the results of this game..Michigan is now clearly playing like a top team in the country, and Purdue is definitely beatable at home. We could/should have beaten Michigan, and have 3 equal chances of a win on the road..

How does Simpson go 0-10 and score 4 points vs Purdue after what he did against us?

Crazy how up and down players can be from game to game.

Its not a problem for Michigan because they have scoring threats at every position.
