Purdue at Illinois

The Purdue Boilermakers are 24-5 on the season, but things have not exactly been smooth of late. Purdue broke a three game losing streak their last time out, and in doing so seemed to break out of their offensive funk. The Boilermakers managed just 60.3 points per game in the three losses, shooting a brutal 41% from the field in the process. They came back to shoot 49% in their last game. The good news is that Illinois defends poorly. The Illini have allowed 8 of their last 13 opponents to connect on over 50% shooting. Illinois has been a good scoring team at home where they have produced over 80 ppg on the season. I see this one getting into the 150s, so make the play on the OVER.
