Purdue is coming into this game as a 2.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Iowa has been playing very well recently and they have really been heating up in their games with 3 straight wins but they did not play very well in their last game. They were struggling to even take a lead at all in their last game and they basically trailed against Indiana for the entire game, even being down by 10 points with less than 5 minutes left in the game, but Iowa still managed to come back and win on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer. Their luck will not be as good in this game though and their opponent is much better here as they are going up against a Purdue side that is one of the best in the nation and has been playing very well recently as well. They did not finish their season off strong but they have been playing better in this tournament and even though they only won their last game by 5 points, they were in control of that whole game and never even gave the lead up. Iowa has had a good run but they are running into a better team here that has been starting to heat up in their games as well. Purdue has not been covering a lot of spreads recently but this is a small one they should be able to cover here.

“It’s something that can’t be put into words. You dream about it in the backyard when you’re throwing up shots there or at the YMCA or wherever it might be. So when it went in, I just started running in circles because I didn’t really know where to go.” - Jordan Bohannon on hitting the game winning 3-pointer.

 

 

"Tomorrow's a big game for us. We didn't win a regular-season championship. That was a goal of ours and we fell short. Tomorrow we have a chance to win a championship and take it home." - Jaden Ivey after their win against MSU.
