The current betting odds have Purdue listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Purdue enters this game as a ranked team but not just any ranked team as they are the 1st ranked team in the country right now. They have been on a roll all year and really are one of the best teams in the country with their 22-1 record overall and their 11-1 conference record which leads the Big Ten by a few games. They have even been great in their road games with a perfect 7-0 road record and they have been on fire lately winning 9 games in a row as they enter this one. Indiana has had some rough patches this season but they have been playing a lot better lately. They are 15-7 overall with a 6-5 conference record but they have been great in their home games with an 11-1 home record. Indiana was starting to get really hot lately too but they lost their last game to Maryland and lost a lot of their steam as they got crushed in that game. This is a big rivalry game for them so they will bring their best on their home court here, but it still won't be enough as Purdue will find a way to win this game like they have been doing all year. The best way to place a bet here is on Purdue to cover the spread in this game.

“It was great to see someone get into a rhythm and knock down some shots. Obviously he played well in the first half, took some rhythm 3-pointers and knocked them down. Obviously, he started the second half because he started so well. And kind of exploded the first six or seven minutes.” - Matt Painter after his team’s win against PSU in their last game.

"You know, our perimeter play was non-existent tonight, and we have not had it like that in a while. So I mean, we have just gotta regroup. I thought defensively, we put so much pressure on our defense to get stops, and they shoot 30%, 20-something% from the 3, you have gotta think that you can win a game when that happens. And (we) out-rebounded them. I mean, we could not find any offense." - Mike Woodson after his team’s loss against Maryland in their last game.
