Purdue Basketball Beat #38 feat IndyStar's Zach Osterman

Purdue Basketball Beat #38 feat IndyStar's Zach Osterman

Zach Osterman, the IndyStar's IU Insider, joins the Purdue Basketball Beat to talk about Purdue's matchup at Indiana this Saturday. Michael and Aneesh talk with Zach about Tom Crean's lack of success against the Boilermakers without Cody Zeller, Yogi Ferrell's shot-creation, the impact of James Blackmon's injury and Robert Johnson stepping up in his stead, the enigma that is Troy Williams, IU's outlook next year, Tom Crean's standing with Hoosiers everywhere, and predictions for this Saturday's game.

All that, plus his journey from Atlanta to IU to the IndyStar, the best teams Zach has ever covered, and a few special appearances from Zach's dogs.
