This is another big spot for Williams after leading his team to victory over Michigan State. Indiana came into that game loser of seven straight games. Purdue is currently one of four B1G West teams with a 7-4 record. In addition, the Boilermakers are tied with Iowa with a 5-3 conference record.
Williams is hoping to spoil Purdue’s chances of making it to the B1G Championship Game. On a personal note, it could give the redshirt sophomore some confidence heading into the offseason.
