Top Cappers News


Purdue has been one of the nation’s top teams all season, showcasing consistency and balance on both ends of the floor. However, this matchup poses serious problems for the Boilermakers. Houston brings the most dominant defense in college basketball into this game, backed by elite size, athleticism, and a relentless physical style that could completely disrupt what Purdue does best.

Specifically, Purdue's big man Kaufman-Renn is in for a battle. Houston can rotate multiple 6’8” forwards on him, giving them fresh bodies to wear him down and clog the paint. The Cougars are built to take away the interior, and this spells trouble for a Purdue offense that lacks reliable scoring options beyond their primary threats.

Playmaker Braden Smith struggled mightily against McNeese in the last round, and now he faces a Houston defense that thrives on pressure and capitalizing on mistakes. The Boilermakers have shown a tendency to turn the ball over, and Houston ranks among the best in the nation at converting those miscues into fast-break points.

This Houston squad is battle-tested, loaded with tournament experience, and built for March. Expect them to control the tempo, win the battle in the paint, and force Purdue out of rhythm. The Cougars should cover the spread and punch their ticket to the Elite Eight. Take Houston ATS
