Purdue vs. Wisconsin Prediction
This game will play a key role in who wins the Big Ten regular season championship.
Purdue begins play ranked second in the nation with a 20-2 record.
The Boilermakers have been playing their best basketball as of late, winning six consecutive games.
Purdue’s 9-1 conference record is the best in the Big Ten.
Big man Zach Edey is the favorite to win National Player of the Year, and for good reason. Edey leads the team with 23.4 points and 11.6 rebounds.
Senior Lance Jones has delivered one of the best years of his career, adding 12.7 points and 2.5 assists.
Sophomore Braden Smith leads the squad with 7.5 assists while scoring 12.1 points per game.
Purdue offense has averaged 85.8 points while holding the opposition to 70.0.
Wisconsin rolls into this contest ranked 9th with a 16-5 record.
The Badgers suffered a road loss earlier in the week at Nebraska in a game that they led by double digits most of the way.
The loss pushed Wisconsin down to second in the conference with an 8-2 record.
St. John’s transfer AJ Storr leads the team in scoring with 16.5 points per game.
Senior Steven Crowl has been great, averaging a team-best 7.8 rebounds and 11.4 points per game.
Minnesota native Tyler Wahl has added 11.2 points and 5.6 assists.
Chucky Hepburn leads the team with 3.8 assists per game.
The Badgers offense has scored 75.8 points per game while allowing teams 67.5.
Purdue vs. Wisconsin Pick
I will gladly fade the public and back the Badgers off a tough loss at home.
Madison is one of the most challenging places to play in the conference, and Wisconsin has been great at home this year with a 10-1 record.
Purdue has been beatable on the road this year (4-2).
The Badgers are a veteran team with above-average big men who can slow down Edey's production.
Purdue is not a great defensive team, and the Badgers offense will do enough to stay within this number today.
Let’s stay hot!
