Here is where Purdue could maybe have used 7-4 Zach Edey sticking around for just one more season in West Lafayette. Michigan hits Mackey Arena tonight with a pair of 7-footers in ex-FAU Vladislav Goldin and ex-Yale Danny Wolf, combining for nearly 30-ppg. Michigan has had a bit of a bumpy go in the last two outings, twice forced into OT, but won handily in five previous for Dusty May, whose team continues to rank high in FG accuracy (50.6% ranks 4th). The Wolverines own the sort of length on the perimeter to cause problems for Matt Painter's long-range gunners Braden Smith (40.2% 3s) and Fletcher Loyer (46.3% triples). Play Michigan.

Michigan is No. 12 in the NET rankings, one spot ahead of Purdue, as the Big Ten rivals face off Friday in West Lafayette, Ind.
