Indiana Hoosiers vs. Purdue Boilermakers; Latest Form
In the Big Ten this season, Indiana has a 4-2 record and sits in third position. Overall, in the 2023/24 campaign, the Hoosiers are 12-5, with a home record of 10-1. The home defeat came against the Kansas Jayhawks in mid-December. On that occasion, the Jayhawks came back from an 8-point halftime deficit (40-32) to win 75-71.
In the Hoosiers’ last match, they defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers 74-62 at the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
This might sound like a routine win, but it was a huge result following their 66-57 defeat at the hands of Rutgers last week. Another defeat against Minnesota would have undone a lot of the good work done by Mike Woodson’s team this season.
The Purdue Boilermakers sit second in the Big Ten with a Conference record of 4-2. Overall, they are 15-2 this season. On the road, Purdue is 1-2. They saw a seven-match winning streak snapped when they went down 88-72 away to Nebraska last week. They did bounce back with a Zach Edey (30 points) inspired 95-78 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday.
The win over the Lions was at the Mackey Arena, where Purdue has been dominant this season (9-0). It’s on the road where the Boilermakers have struggled, and that is what may be giving Matt Painter sleepless nights ahead of this Big Ten clash.
Indiana Hoosiers vs. Purdue Boilermakers Betting Picks
This is a hard one to call. Purdue has lost two of three on the road this season. So winning away and covering ten points sounds like a big ask.
But the Boilermakers are expected to win the NCAA Championship. They should be winning matches like this. A win will probably come for the Boilermakers in Bloomington tonight. But that doesn’t mean they will cover the spread.
In Indiana’s only home defeat this season, they only lost by four points to the Kansas Jayhawks. And that required a great comeback from Kansas to turn the match around.
The Boilermakers have looked a touch lethargic lately. Therefore, all things considered, we are going for the Indiana Hoosiers to win with the 10-point spread for our betting pick.
