Xavier at Purdue picks and predictions
Prediction
Purdue 80, Xavier 60
Moneyline
PASS.
At -3000 odds, the Boilermakers present no value for a victory in this matchup.
Against the spread
LEAN PURDUE -17.5 (-110).
17.5 points is a large margin for Purdue to cover, but playing at home and facing a relatively young and inexperienced Xavier squad, it will have the chance to prove it is the dominant team deserving of a top rank. Xavier will have no answer for 7-footer Edey, who will dominate the boards and allow the Boilermakers to maintain possession. Purdue has established its ability to move the ball and find the basket as demonstrated by 11 different players scoring in its last game.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 150.5 (-110).
As it stands, this will be the highest total for both Xavier and Purdue this season — they sport a combined 3-1 Under record. Purdue has the ability to score in droves, scoring 98 and 87 points in its 2 games this season, but Xavier has scored just 79 and 77 in its 2 outings. Expect the Boilermakers to lock down on defense and create problems for Xavier, leading to the Under hitting.
