Next up Purdue

The next game is another difficult road matchup, this time against Purdue. While the Boilermakers are having a bit of a "down" year (they're currently 6-8), that is a bit misleading as they have played a very difficult schedule. Among their 8 losses are Duke (#9, road game), UNC (#4, road), Connecticut (#1, home) and Notre Dame (#16, home).

Michigan has struggled on the road against good teams - three of their four losses were road games against ranked teams (Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Ohio State) and the other was a "neutral court" game against 11-2 Iowa State.

Purdue is led by center Danielle Campbell (12.1 pts & 7.9 rbs/game) and forward Lakisha "Kiki" Freeman (13.3 pts/game).

Lets hope for a strong showing from the Wolverines and maybe even a surprise road win.
