Purdue has maintained a steady pattern of impressive home wins followed by poor showings in road losses. The Boilermakers got a much-needed rout of Iowa in their last game, but now face an Indiana club in a similarly dire situation. The Hoosiers haven't won since their upset of Michigan State two weeks ago and need this one to get at .500 in conference play. Although they have struggled with Purdue's physicality in recent matchups, look for them to find a way to get the win.

For Purdue, the season has been a tale of two settings. The Boilermakers are da bomb at home. Away, they are 2-6 and 1-6-1 ATS. Indiana is 12-2 outright at home, with one loss by a point last week against Maryland. Beloved (at least in Hoosier-land) former coach Bob Knight is expected in the building and will be feted at halftime, so the crowd will be more rabid than usual, heightening the home-court edge. I'm on Indiana.
