High Point is coming into this game with a 29-5 record this season and they were 14-2 in their conference. They have been one of the hotter teams in the country as they are coming into this game winning their last 14 straight games. They were dominant in their conference all season and were even dominant in their non-conference schedule as they were 12-3, but they also had a very weak schedule and have not played a single power conference team this season. They are going up against a Purdue team that is 22-11 this season and they were 13-7 in their conference. They are coming off of an 86-68 loss against Michigan in their last game and have lost 2 of their last 3 games, but Purdue went to the National Championship last season and they are still going to have some of that DNA in this tournament. They were also very good in their non-conference schedule as they were 8-3 with all 3 of their losses coming against ranked opponents. They were also tested in those games with a very tough schedule, and they dominated their 5 games against non-power conference opponents as they won all 5 games by 8+ points, winning 4 of those by 10+ points. Purdue has already been upset in the 1st round as a number 1 seed just 2 years ago so they are going to get up for this game and it is a very bad matchup for High Point. Purdue will cover the spread in this game.
