Free Betting Pick: Purdue Boilermakers +1.5
With the Boilermakers the offense did not lose anything when they entered the tournament. The Volunteers offense, though, seemed to have slipped some as the team did not reach its average in either of the games they played so far and the defense allowed more points than usual. That is going to be difficult for the Volunteers to overcome in this game here as the Vols struggle to meet their season averages while Purdue cruises. Final Score, Purdue Boilermakers win and cover 76-72.
