Mike’s Analysis:

UCLA advancing to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals is no surprise. The Bruins have been playing lights-out lately. However, so has Purdue, which took down Northwestern and second seed Nebraska by a combined 29 points in Chicago. Worse for UCLA, its most pruductive player Tyler Bilodeau (18.1 points, 5.8 rebounds per game) likely will sit out with a knee injury suffered Friday. The Boilers know him well, having endured an end-of-game basket by Bilodeau that beat them last season. UCLA has stated its case for a decent NCAA Tourney seed and should let Bilodeau rest for more important business. While the Bruins finished off Michigan State with him on the bench, Purdue gets to game-plan knowing his absence is probable.
