U-M's job is to find a way to slowdown Purdue's star point guard Braden Smith, who torched them in the first meeting to the tune of 24 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and four steals. Also keep an eye on Trey Kaufman-Renn − Michigan held him to 15 last time, his only game in the past six where he's scored fewer than 23 points.

The No. 7 Boilermakers (19-5, 11-2) have won four straight games and 11 of 12, including a 91-64 blowout of Michigan on Jan. 24. Purdue pounced on the Wolverines from the jump and never let it get close.
