Purdue has the bigs and good guard play to be one of the top teams this year.
Purdue is the number 1 defensive team in the country which has gone grossly unnoticed by many outlets and this defense is what is going to help a hungry Matt Painter team this year. Purdue is a top 50 effective field goal percentage team and a top 40 free throw shooting team as well.

Michigan has struggled against elite competition this year including losing to SMU who is a top 15 team by 24 points on the road, losing to Connecticut who is a top 35 team by 14 points and top 10 Xavier by 16 points. Let's roll with Purdue here as they face a Michigan as the Wolverines are one of the worst offensive rebounding teams in the country

Purdue blew a 17 pt halftime lead in their last game due to shooting too many 3's. I expect them to be focused tonight big time as they host Michigan.
