The air escaped out of the balloon Friday, two days after Ohio State drilled Iowa in perhaps the season's most impressive showing. F Kaleb Wesson (14.6 ppg, 6.7 rpg) was suspended, which will leave the Buckeyes struggling to score points. Purdue won the first meeting by 12 in Columbus, with Wesson scoring 22 of OSU's 67. Wesson was activated for the past five games, all but one ATS setbacks.
I look for Purdue to come out strong and not look back in this one.
