Purdue basketball prediction

Nathan Baird, IndyStar: Purdue 86-62

“The Boilermakers are still working with their lineup compositions, but that doesn’t mean they will play with their food. Only concern is whether they’ll be too hyped up from the pregame national runner-up banner-raising ceremony.”
