Purdue's dominating win over Villanova was the fifth cover in the last seven games for the Boilermakers, who are 19-14-1 ATS on the season. Carsen Edwards exploded for 42 points and Matt Haarms added 18 points and nine rebounds and the Boilermakers shot 54 percent and held the Wildcats to only 34 percent from the field. Tennessee blew a 25-point lead before beating Iowa as Grant Williams came through in overtime and he and Admiral Schofield finished with 19 points apiece and the Hawkeyes were held to a .390 field goal percentage. The Volunteers can't afford another meltdown versus Purdue, which won its first two games of the tournament by an average of 19.5 points. Tennessee has not covered the number its last three games overall and that includes a 20-point loss to Auburn in the SEC Tournament. The Volunteers are just 4-9 ATS their last 13 games and the Boilermakers are 40-19 ATS their last 59 non-conference games. Play Purdue.
