Junior forward E.J. Liddell continued his fine season with 23 points, a career-high 15 rebounds and five assists. He became the 60^th player in Ohio State history to score 1,000 career points while registering his second straight double-double and fourth of the season along with his seventh 20-point game.

Another day, another monster outing from E.J. Liddell in the Big Ten: 23 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and the road win. Now shooting 41% for 3. Making a strong case for player of the year honors in a conference with three projected top-10 picks. Might be a lottery pick himself. pic.twitter.com/Uypez58eMz

Liddell is fourth in the Big Ten in scoring with 19.6 points a game and has reached double figures in 27 consecutive games, a streak that dates to last season. He also has averages of 7.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.7 blocked shots.

Ohio State was able to hold a whopping 48-20 rebounding advantage in large part because of Liddell. The Buckeyes also scored 27 second-chance points off 20 offensive boards.

Senior forward Kyle Young added 14 points, sophomore forward Zed Key contributed 12 points and eight rebounds and freshman guard Malaki Branham chipped in with 11 points, six rebounds and three assists.

Branham and Meechie Johnson Jr. became the first pair of guards to start a game for Ohio State since the 1995-96 season. Johnson was replacing Jamari Wheeler, who had his streak of 143 consecutive games played end because of a foot injury.

Wheeler is questionable for Sunday. Johnson had missed the previous three games with facial fractures and played with a faceguard Thursday.

Branham is the only Ohio State player besides Liddell with a double-figure scoring average at 10.1. Key is averaging 9.5 points and 5.8 rebounds.

Ohio State shot just 25.9% (7 of 27) from three-point range but offset that by committing just six turnovers.

The Buckeyes are 13^th in the country in Ken Pom’s offensive efficiency with 116.4 points per 100 possessions.

Purdue Betting Outlook

Purdue has covered in four of its last five games and is 11-9 ATS in 2021-22, including 6-5 at home. The Boilermakers also lead the nation in offensive efficiency with 124.6 points per 100 possessions.

Purdue welcomed back sophomore guard and leading scorer Jaden Ivey in the win over Iowa. After missing the previous game with a groin injury, Ivey was eased into action by playing 21 minutes off the bench in which he scored 15 points and had five rebounds.

Ivey has season averages of 16.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He has scored in double figures in 18 of his 19 games.

Junior guard Isaiah Thompson provided a spark by scoring a career-high 18 points in a reserve role after coming into the game with a 5.7 average.

Thompson was 4 of 6 on three-point field goal attempts and 6 of 8 overall. He had shot just 7 of 29 (24.1%) in the previous six games.

Senior guard Sasha Stefanovic had 14 points, including four three-pointers, and four assists. He pushed his season averages to 12.2 points and 3.6 assists.

Senior forward Trevion Williams had his second straight double-double and seventh of the season by contributing 12 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.

Williams is third in the conference in rebounds with 8.5 a game. He is also averaging 12.7 points and 3.1 assists and has scored in double figures in five of the last six games.

I love how Trevion Williams got off the floor for this dunk. As someone who also lost a lot of weight, I'm telling you- once you're done with a long weight loss journey, you can make RAPID athletic improvements when you aren't in a caloric deficit all the time anymore. pic.twitter.com/7MTaLnWnuA

Purdue shot a smoking 61.2% (30 of 49) from the field, including 59.1% (13 of 22) on threes while holding Iowa to 37.5% (24 of 64). The Boilermakers, though, were just 10 of 22 (45.5%) from the foul line and had 15 turnovers.

Ohio State vs Purdue Prediction

Ohio State won the last meeting between the teams, 87-78 in overtime in the quarterfinals of last year’s Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis.

Young had 18 points for the Buckeyes and Liddell added 17 points, five rebounds and five assists. Williams had a huge game for Purdue with 26 points, 14 rebounds and five assists while Ivey scored 19.

Look for Purdue and its array of scorers to get revenge in this one.
