Minnesota at Purdue

We liken this Boilermaker squad to that of UConn. They have piled up the wins, but the lopsided games are few and far between. They have destroyed conference bottom feeders Penn State by 14 and 22 points and Northwestern by 15. They have beaten no other team in the conference by more than 8 points and the Gophers have more to offer than Penn State and Northwestern. Minnesota is deep and they get 10 steals a game. They can also get hot from beyond the arc. Purdue is actually getting out-shot on the season, and have fared poorly vs teams with a losing road record covering just two of their last 10. On the other hand, the Gophers have been 5-1 ATS on the road in Big-10 play. We like the Gophers to hang tough here.
