The Purdue Boilermakers are set to visit Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana for a Big Ten clash against the Indiana Hoosiers. The Purdue Boilermakers come into this matchup with a 13-10 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Iowa Hawkeyes, 104-68. Leading the way for the Purdue Boilermakers was senior forward Evan Boudreaux as he recorded 18 points and 8 rebounds. Sophomore guard Sasha Stefanovic had a productive outing for the Boilermakers as he pitched in 15 points and 3 assists.

The Purdue Boilermakers had a good shooting game against the Iowa Hawkeyes as they connected on 41 of their 65 field goal attempts (63.1%), and they were good from behind the three-point line (55.9%). The Purdue Boilermakers won the turnover battle against the Iowa Hawkeyes (14-9), and they edged out the Hawkeyes in the rebounding department (32-24).

The Indiana Hoosiers come into this matchup with a 15-7 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, 68-59. Leading the way for the Indiana Hoosiers was senior guard Devonte Green as he recorded 13 points off the bench. Sophomore guard Rob Phinisee had a productive outing for the Hoosiers as he pitched in 11 points and 3 assists.

The Indiana Hoosiers had a good shooting game against the Ohio State Buckeyes as they connected on 19 of their 42 field goal attempts (45.2%), and they were even better from behind the three-point line (58.3%). The Indiana Hoosiers lost the turnover battle against the Ohio State Buckeyes (13-10), and they were edged out by the Buckeyes in the rebounding department (31-24).

The Purdue Boilermakers have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the Big Ten this season as they own a 36-point win over Iowa and a 29-point win over Michigan State, but I think they are in better shape than the Hoosiers who are on a 3-game losing streak. The Boilermakers are one of the top defensive teams in the country as they are holding their opponents to an average of 60.7 PPG, but the same can’t be said about Indiana, especially in conference play as they are allowing an average of 70 PPG. Indiana has a very good group of forwards with Trayce Jackson-Davis and Justin Smith both averaging at least 11 PPG and 5 RPG, but they will have a tough task with Purdue’s Trevion Williams (11.2 PPG and 7.4 RPG). Purdue put on a three-point shooting clinic against Iowa as they connected on 55.9% of their attempts, and they have a chance to win this game on the road against an Indiana team that ranks 10th in the Big Ten in defending the three-point line. Final Score Prediction, Purdue Boilermakers win and cover ATS 68-65.
