Purdue’s team totals have often benefitted from the fact they shoot FTs very well at home. Even the big fella is great from the charity stripe. But in the rare game where Purdue is getting points, they are unlikely to get those second half FTs. I don’t believe this factor has been baked into the total. Under.

It's rare to see Purdue as an underdog. The Boilermakers have had their struggles on the road this season. They’re 4-5 ATS on the road and 8-10-1 ATS in conference play. Illinois has a very underrated defense, as they’re holding opponents 67.6 points per game. They also have a strong home court, 15-2 SU, and have been shooting 54.4% effectively. It’ll be tough for the Fighting Illini to contain Zach Edey, but it’ll also be tough for Purdue to contain Terrence Shannon Jr. The Fighting Illini have physical players downlow to double Edey, forcing his teammates to make plays.
