Seniors who start and finish their careers without transferring are dinosaurs in this new era of college basketball. It makes Saturday’s Senior Night showdown against Wisconsin<\/a> extra special for Purdue<\/a>. Trey Kaufman-Renn<\/a>, Braden Smith<\/a> and Fletcher Loyer<\/a> have transformed from wide-eyed freshmen into grizzled veterans. They will go down as some of the most accomplished seniors in Purdue’s illustrious basketball history. <\/p>\n

An emotional day is certainly on tap, but it’s important. Wisconsin’s tandem of John Blackwell<\/a> and Nick Boyd<\/a> is as good as any one-two punch in the Big Ten. Purdue is desperate to find its fastball after a 6-6 stretch to close the regular season. <\/p>\n

A banger awaits. <\/p>\n

Wisconsin vs. Purdue: Need to know <\/p>\n

How healthy is Nolan Winter<\/a>?\u00a0Wisconsin’s third-best player went down with a foot injury in the Badgers’ 33-point win over Maryland<\/a> on Wednesday. Wisconsin is labeling the 7-foot big man as “day-to-day.” Winter’s status looms large in this one ahead of a matchup against one of the best-rebounding teams in the Big Ten. <\/p>\n

Braden Smith, the scorer:\u00a0Purdue’s floor general is chasing history, namely Bobby Hurley’s assist record, but the Boilermakers may need more from Smith as a scorer in this one. Wisconsin’s defense tries to limit paint touches and catch-and-shoot 3s. Smith destroyed Wisconsin as a playmaker in the first matchup, but buckets are there for the taking in his final showing inside Mackey’s hallowed walls. <\/p>\n

Will Wisconsin’s jump shooters find the range? The Badgers are very feisty when the supporting cast is raining in 3-pointers. Specifically, it’s guys like Austin Rapp<\/a>, Aleksas Bieliauskas<\/a>, Braeden Carrington<\/a> and Andrew Rohde<\/a>. Those four combined to shoot 3-for-15 from downtown in Wisconsin’s first matchup against Purdue. It contributed to the Badgers’ getting crushed by 16. When Wisconsin’s supporting cast can cash in on the open 3-pointers that Blackwell and Boyd generate, the Badgers are a terrifying team to play. <\/p>\n

Wisconsin vs. Purdue prediction, picks <\/p>\n

Vroom-vroom guards have given Purdue lots of issues this season, and Wisconsin has two of them in Boyd and Blackwell. That duo combines for 38 points a night, and they can toggle back and forth depending on who has the best matchup. If the Badgers’ bigs can hold their own on the glass and knock down some pick-and-pop treys, the Badgers can hang around in this one. Purdue wins; Wisconsin covers.\u00a0Pick: Wisconsin +8\u00a0 <\/p>\n
