We have to go with the over in this heavy weight top 10 NCAAB matchup. Purdue and Illinois both trend to the over, Illinois's last 3 straight games have gone over and all games with teams with large winning records (Northwestern, Tennessee, FAU) and they'll need to put points with Purdue putting up 80 points at a minimum on homecourt. Illinois are a good enough shooting team from long range to contend here in a prime spot that will be heavily watched, while hoping to limit the points down low from Zach Eddy..... which means more shooting for Purdue farther from the basket. Last 3 meetings between these teams have gone over and two of those three ended WAY OVER this total for tonight's game. And Illinois has score more than 75 points in the last 3 away games.

Official Bet: Over 154

Side Bet: Illinois +10.5
