Betting Trends: Iowa is 13-20 ATS in its previous 33 games and 0-5 ATS in its last five.
Purdue will crush Iowa on Tuesday night, dominating the Hawkeyes' lightweight defense. This will be especially evident at the rim, as the Boilermakers rank 4th in the nation in near-proximity shooting percentage and the Hawkeyes are 202nd in near-proximity defense. Purdue also has an excellent opportunity to score off offensive rebounds, as it ranks 23rd in second-chance conversion percentage and Iowa is 351st in opponent second-chance conversion percentage.
The Hawkeyes' spirits were dampened by the news that their leading scorer Owen Freeman will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing thumb surgery. They were already facing an uphill battle against Purdue's stout defense (21st in defensive momentum, per Haslametrics.com), which is tough to score against on the perimeter and doesn't allow a lot of buckets at the rim (28th in average opponent near-proximity FG attempt rate). Iowa ranks 362nd in momentum and 361st in Haslametrics' "Paper Tiger Factor", which measures a team's ability to play up to their competition.
Bet on the Boilermakers to win by a large margin on Tuesday in Iowa City!
