Indiana lives and dies by the three. They shoot nearly 30 threes a game! This is a key reason why they can be tricky out. A scorching night from behind the arc can see the Hoosiers sweeping Purdue.
Purdue is 21-5 overall and 11-4 in Big 10 play. They are predicted to be a 2 seed in March Madness. This game will be important for multiple reasons for Purdue. Indiana previously upset the Boilermakers, and they are just coming off a loss to Michigan. Expect Purdue to be ready to go from the opening tip.
Indiana vs Purdue should be a fun one. Both teams have elite guards in Wilkerson and Smith. Along with this, tensions should be high from the previous matchup. We believe that Purdue is the better team, but Indiana's three-point capabilities make them dangerous. Games like these can be tricky, but we think that Purdue will win. However, Indiana should take the points with the generous spread. Our pick is Indiana ATS (+10.5).
