The set-up: Purdue advanced with an 87-61 win over Villanova on Saturday, while Tennessee advanced with an 83-77 OT victory over Iowa. The last time these teams played together was in 2017 at the Battle 4 Atlantis and the Vols posted the 78-75 OT win. Purdue puts up an average of 76.1 PPG, while allowing 66.1. The Vols are averaging 81.7 PPG, while allowing only 68.9.

The pick: Purdue though is still just 4-6 ATS in its last ten as an underdog, while Tennessee is 10-5 ATS this year after scoring 75 points or more in two straight games. I think the Vols depth and pace proves to the be the difference. Play on Tennessee.
