Purdue suffered a big blow when they lost Robbie Hummel for the rest of the season to a knee injury. They have played without him before as he was saddled with a back injury a year ago, and beat a tough Siena team by 8 without him. The Boilers are 5-2 since his injury, so no alarms should be going off - there is plenty of talent to fill the hole. Texas A&M did a great job at home, but looking at neutral site losses to West Virginia and New Mexico, and a slim 1-point win vs. Minnesota, show this team is vulnerable here and a false favorite. The Boilermakers play their best basketball as the underdog where they are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21, and I expect them to get this one as well. Purdue gets the call.
