The Penn State Nittany Lions travel to West Lafayette in Indiana to take on the Purdue Boilermakers in Big Ten hoops action. The college basketball board lists the host Boilermakers as a -4.5 point spread favorite with the total offered up at 135 points.
PSU Betting Overview
The Nittany Lions are on a roll, winners of six straight and for bettors more importantly 6-0 against the spread. They’re only 4-3 on the season in true road games, but their fortunes changed in their win streak beating Michigan and Michigan State.
PUR Betting Overview
After a rough game in Rutgers, Purdue has put together a three-game win streak narrowly getting by Northwestern on the road but returned home to put a beat down on Iowa and went into Indiana and coming away with a double-digit victory.
Head to Head
This game will be the first meeting of the season between these two clubs. Purdue has owned Penn State winning nine of the last ten meetings straight up, but that has transferred to the windows where they are just 4-6 versus the spread and 6-4 versus the O/U line.
