The Purdue Boilermakers have what it takes to cut down the nets this season. They will open the tournament as a No. 1 seed and will take on No. 16 seed Grambling St. Grambling St. is over-matched in this contest and they will draw up the blueprint that Fairleigh Dickinson used in the opening round last year in a huge 63-58 upset of the Boilermakers in the first round. They frustrated Purdue the entire game, and kept things very slow and methodical and employed a zone for most of the game to slow the game further. I'm not sure if Grambling St. can pull off the upset, but they are going to use the same tactics Fairleigh Dickinson used to stay in touch. Make the play on the first half UNDER.
