5 things Michigan basketball fans should know about Purdue

With Michigan basketball taking a trip to West Lafayette on Friday night, here are five things you should know about Purdue.

The No. 7 Michigan Wolverines ended their one-game losing streak — the only loss of the season — on Tuesday when they destroyed the Maryland Terrapins in a game that was never close. The maize and blue will now turn their attention to a new Big Ten opponent come Friday when they travel to face Purdue.

The Wolverines are still sitting at the top of the Big Ten standings, but Iowa is right on their heels with only being a half-game back. Michigan is going to need to fend off the Boilermakers who are fourth in the Big Ten standings, sitting at an 11-5 (6-3) record on the season.

Anytime a team travels away for a Big Ten game anything can happen. We’re witnessing the best conference that college hoops has to offer this year, and you can’t take any team, nor game, lightly.

Before tuning in on Friday night, here are five things you should know about Purdue.
