Vanderbilt at Purdue

Talented Purdue is home and in bounce-back mode after their first loss of the season on Saturday against #9 ranked Butler. The Boilermakers continue to rank very high in the national charts, placing in the top 50 in 12 statistical categories, including leading the country in field goal percentage defense (.339). Four players average in double figures, led by Isaac Haas at 12.8 points per game and A.J. Hammons at 12.5. Purdue won't see Vanderbilt at full strength as seven-foot forward Luke Kornet suffered a torn MCL in practice on Dec. 7 and isn’t expected back until next month. Freshman guard Cam Justice is also out with a groin injury. Vandy has a losing road mark while the Boilermakers are on a 21-8 ATS run. Back Purdue on the moneyline.
