- Analysis
- Purdue is coming into this game with a 17-3 record this season and they are 7-2 in the conference. They have not been playing well recently as they have lost their last 2 straight games and they are coming off of an 88-82 loss at home against Illinois in their last game, but they have still won 9 of their last 11 games and they are one of the better teams in the country as well. They lost on the road against UCLA 69-67 and they are now coming off of a home loss against Illinois, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back after 2 straight losses and they are going to get up for this game as well. They have still been very good on the road this season at 4-1 and 3 of those road wins have been by 7+ points as well. They are going up against an Indiana team that is 13-7 this season and they are 4-5 in the conference. They are coming off of an 82-59 win on the road against Rutgers in their last game, but they have not been playing well recently as they have lost 4 of their last 5 games. Their offense has not been great in these as they have been held under 80 points in 4 of their last 5 games and they have been held under 70 points in 2 of their last 4 games as well. Their defense has not been good either, allowing 80+ points in 3 of their last 5 games. They have been better at home this season, but they have also lost 2 of their last 3 games there with 80+ points allowed in 2 of those. Indiana has been shooting well this season, but Purdue has the much better offense to lean on here and this is a good spot for them to bounce back. Purdue will cover the spread in this game.
