These teams are about as even as it gets. Especially since Indiana-Purdue won by three points at home then and lost at Oral Roberts by one. There is one big difference. Caleb Green was the best player on the court last year for Oral Roberts. He did everything including scoring 28 in the final last year. They are missing the guy that can take over a big game. This year it is Ind-Purdue and George Hill. Hill averaged 19 points per game as a sophomore, but was limited to just five games last season. He has come back to be the best player in the conference this season. He is averaging 21.4 ppg, with 6.8 rebounds per game and 4.4 assists per game, as well as 1.5 steals a game. He shoots over 55% from the floor and 45% from behind the arc. Ind-Purdue is the second-best shooting team in the country hitting 50.6% and second in the country in knocking down 3's at 42.4%. This should be a close game and we like the idea of having the player on the floor that can take a game over down the stretch or knock down a big shot on our side, especially getting points.
