Against the spread
Purdue is 0-9 ATS in its last 9 December games and 1-6 ATS in its last 7 conference games.
Purdue won last year's meeting 87-73. But to Iowa's credit, it was within 8 under the 6-minute mark in a game it was outscored in 3s and in foul shots and in a contest that saw the Boilermakers shoot 55% from the floor.
Purdue was favored by 7.5 in that game. It went through a tough slate in late-November, and guys played a lot of minutes Friday.
Iowa has done well to limit opponent free-throw looks and avoid turnovers.
BACK THE HAWKEYES +13.5 (-115).

Over/Under
Figure this one for a hot pace. But free-throw amounts could go either way, and turnover/transition figures to be under wraps.
Pace numbers tend to quickly settle down in conference season. This contest will have plenty of possessions, but the UNDER 164.5 (-110) is a solid play.
