Purdue Boilermakers Betting Preview

The Boilermakers have won their last four games, sparked by a 91-64 blowout win over the Wolverines at the end of January. Their most recent victory was a 90-72 rout over the USC Trojans.

Purdue had a comfortable 48-36 lead after the first half and kept that same pressure in the second. Trey Kaufman-Renn led with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Fletcher Loyer was the only other player in double figures and a total of 10 players added points on the board.

The offense from the Boilermakers struggled a bit from deep at 23.1 percent, but they held the Trojans to even worse shooting at 15.4 percent from deep. Purdue also crashed the boards well, with 48 rebounds (17 offensive) compared to the Trojans’ 31.

The Boilermakers have gathered 78.7 points a game and have connected on 49.6 percent of their shots. On defense, they have allowed 68.6 points a game and offer a solid margin of error.

Michigan Wolverines Betting Preview

The Wolverines have recovered well since their loss to the Boilermakers last month, as they have won their last four games. However, each win has been by four points or less against unranked opponents. Their recent win was a 70-67 outing over the Indiana Hoosiers.

Funny enough, the Hoosiers made a shot from beyond half court as time expired to bring the game closer together. Thankfully the Wolverines made their free throws count, otherwise this game could have slipped away. Danny Wolf led with 20 points, nine rebounds, and five assists.

Michigan made 44.4 percent of their shots from the field and allowed the Hoosiers to make 41.7 percent. Their free throws were key here, as they made 85.0 percent and helped ice the game late.

The Wolverines’ offense has put up 81.7 points and shoot 49.7 percent from the field each game. Their defense has allowed 70.4 points per game from opponents. This spread is similar to what the Boilermakers offer.
