home. Bruins have to be very careful in this one and play them as if they are a top Big 10 team.
Their last three home games they have been in the games and beat Maryland 75 to 69, lost to Illinois, 81 to 77 and lost to Purdue 69 to 58 (same score as Bruins beat them earlier) after leading Purdue at the half, 30 to 22, and part of the second half before Purdue got hot and went on a run the last 12 minutes of the game. On the road, their last game in Oregon's tough venue, they were in it in a very close game till the last 5 minutes remaining in the game. At that point Oregon went on a run and ended up winning 82 to 71.
So although they are a bottom feeder in the Big 10, they are by no means a team to be taken lightly on their home court.
