Michigan State vs Purdue Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
The Boilermakers are fresh off of an eight-point win against a scrappy Penn State team that was playing its best basketball, while the Spartans took down Johnny Davis and the Wisconsin Badgers, 69-63.
In the previous meeting between these two, Michigan State won outright, 68-65, as four-point underdogs on their home floor. In that meeting, Purdue shot 1-9 from beyond the arc, while Michigan State shot 9-20. Additionally, Zach Edey had a huge game for Purdue, dropping 25 points on 10-15 shooting from the field. So we can chalk up that loss for Purdue to their poor shooting.
They outrebounded Michigan State, 34-24. Stefanovic went 0-3 himself from beyond the arc, and their big man down low had no problem getting what he wanted. Furthermore, Jaden Ivey might get more involved in this game in less of a hostile environment. He only took 10 shots in the first meeting.
It’s hard to sell myself on this Michigan State team. They don’t impress in any categories and should have lost the first meeting between these two teams. In a big revenge spot for the Boilermakers, look for Purdue’s second-ranked KenPom offense to see their shots fall as they advance to the Big Ten Tournament championship game with a double-digit win.
