Top Cappers News


Leaning toward Purdue, but there’s definitely an argument to be made for Illinois. The Boilermakers handled a scrappy Rutgers squad with relative ease in their last game, shooting an impressive 56.1 percent from the field. They also dominated the glass with a 40-26 rebounding edge and capitalized on nine Rutgers turnovers, converting them into 20 points. Purdue has found its rhythm offensively, scoring 76 or more points in back-to-back games, a positive sign after struggling in previous road matchups against Michigan State and Indiana, where they combined for just 124 points.

Illinois, on the other hand, pulled off an impressive road upset over a strong Michigan team, fueled by a dominant second half. The Illini shot 46.6 percent from the field and outrebounded Michigan 43-32, which played a crucial role in securing the victory. They also took advantage of Michigan’s mistakes, turning 11 turnovers into 15 points. Illinois has been rolling offensively, posting a combined 174 points in their last two games, which suggests this game could trend toward a high total. While Illinois is certainly capable of keeping it competitive, Purdue’s overall depth and efficiency give them the edge to pull out the win in what should be a great matchup. Take Purdue ATS
