Purdue Preview in the Michigan Daily

From the Daily:

In a season of reclamation, the Michigan women's basketball team has yet another chance to prove its streak of losing seasons is over.

If the Wolverines take care of business against Purdue tonight, and Minnesota loses to Illinois, Michigan (2-1 Big Ten, 9-4 overall) will find itself either tied or alone atop the Big Ten - a feat few saw coming.

But to do that, Michigan will have to exorcise some old demons.

Michigan is 12-45 all-time against Purdue. The Wolverines were blown out last year in West Lafayette, 79-35, and lost at home, 59-54. To top it off, Purdue has a 17-game winning streak against the Wolverines, dating back to the 1999-2000 season. This game seems like a great chance for Michigan to break the streak.

The Wolverines are playing their best basketball in years, and the Boilermakers (2-1, 6-8) are coming off a devastating 100-50 loss to No. 1 Connecticut. But the Boilermakers' record is deceiving, considering the team's tough non-conference schedule.

This would be a big win if the Wolverines could pull it off.
