The Pick

Purdue -2.5

The Boilermakers are likely to have leading scorer Jaden Ivey back on the floor after missing the last game, and he will be the difference in Purdue covering this point spread. This matchup will feature two great offenses with defenses that need work to do. Fortunately, the Boilermakers are better on both ends of the floor.
