The current betting odds have Purdue listed as a 17.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Purdue has looked great in their games this season with their 21-2 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country and ranked as one of the best in the nation too. They are at the top of the Big Ten right now with their 10-2 conference record and they have also looked great on their home court all year with their 11-0 home record. Meanwhile, Indiana has looked good in their games this season with their 14-9 record overall, but they have definitely struggled more in conference play. They are only 6-6 in their conference games this season and they have looked terrible in their road games with their 2-4 road record. They managed to pull off a road win against Ohio State in their last game, but Ohio State has also been one of the worst teams in conference play this season for the Big Ten. Indiana already lost badly at home to Purdue earlier this season and Purdue has been rolling teams in their games lately with 7 wins in a row now. Purdue has been playing this entire college basketball season with something to prove and they are going to continue rolling in this home game against a rival school. The best way to place a bet here is on Purdue to cover the spread in this game.

"Trey stepped up. He wanted the ball. We ran a lot of different actions that got him the ball to make plays. He came through. It was nice to see." - Mike Woodson after his team’s win against OSU in their last game on Tuesday.

“We have an elite point guard and we have an elite center. So when you go into a team, you’ve got to be able to game-plan for Zach Edey. It’s obvious, right? But then, you’ve also got to game-plan for Braden Smith and his ability to pass, because they both make other people better.” - Matt Painter after his team’s win against Wisconsin in their last game on Sunday.
