Here are some of Purdue men's basketball coach Matt Painter's thoughts on Clemson. The Boilermakers travel to face the Tigers Wednesday.

"They are going to be very good in the halfcourt offense and defense. And any time you play somebody on their home court, they are going to be better in transition. I think they'll look to push the ball more than they have. They'll look to push the ball a lot more, especially if they can force some turnovers and get long rebounds on their home court," Painter said.

"(Clemson's Brad Brownell is) a very good coach and has done a great job with them. They do a good job of executing and putting you on defense. Their opponents spend a lot of time on defense. They try to wear you down."
