Purdue vs. Marquette prediction
The Purdue Boilermakers are the better team in this matchup and should be able to control the game here. Getting them on the spread and the moneyline gives us some cushion in case of variance happening but Purdue has played tougher opponents in the Alabama Crimson Tide and Yale Bulldogs this season already.
In terms of offense, these teams have been able to shoot the basketball at a great level as the Boilermakers are connecting on 52.9% from the floor while the Golden Eagles are shooting 45.2% throughout the game. With guard Braden Smith passing the basketball well with 9.5 assists per game, they are able to get the basketball to the open man to score.
Marquette's ability to steal the basketball is good, but they have been playing against lesser competition. Take the over, Purdue Boilermakers +5.5, and on the moneyline.
