Purdue basketball expert prediction picks

Nathan Baird, IndyStar: Purdue 75-73

There's almost no chance the Boilers repeat their earlier performance, with a nearly 4-to-1 advantage in turnovers and nearly 66% field goal shooting while Michigan hits 20% of its 3s. I'm still banking on the Braden Smith-led defense to come out one possession ahead.
