Purdue is in my top five, but without Jaden Ivey, there's a five-point drop-off, and the Boilermakers are in for a battle. Iowa has one of the best players in the country in Keegan Murray. The 6-8 small forward is averaging 22.8 points per game. The Hawkeyes are 11-1 straight up and 8-4 against the spread at home. Purdue is 2-2 straight up and 1-3 ATS on the road.

All-American Keegan Murray (22.8 ppg) wasn't available when Iowa visited Purdue on Dec. 3. The Hawkeyes went 5 of 21 from deep but still were competitive in a 77-70 loss. They forced 17 Purdue turnovers. The Boilermakers expect to have Jaden Ivey back from a hip flexor tonight, but it's unclear how effective he'll be. Look for the home team to improve to 17-6 ATS in the past 23 meetings.

Purdue won the first matchup between this two, holding off Iowa 77-70 at Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers had a great deal of trouble with the Hawkeyes' press and Iowa was without the Big Ten's leading scorer, Keegan Murray. Purdue is going to need to play like it did at Illinois to keep this close, but the odds don't favor that.
