Purdue Boilermakers at Indiana Hoosiers Prediction

I’m basing my handicap on the Indiana injury report. There has been rumbles about leading scorer guard James Blackmon Jr. returning and if that’s the case that goes without saying that’s a big deal for the Hoosiers’ offense. Indiana F OG Anunoby has been lost for the season and his defense (21 steals, 21 blocks) will be missed more than his offense (11.1 PPG). Purdue’s offense has been firing on all cylinders scoring an average of 79.6 points in conference games although the defense hasn’t been allowing four more points on the road per game. On the road that number increases to 77.2 and with averaging 88.8 PPG at home this season and 110 (0T), 82, 76, 96, 68 and 83 in their six home conference games. It would be easy to forecast both clubs scoring into the 80’s tonight and that’s where my money is going to land.
