Prediction

This should be a pretty good battle between Big Ten teams with identical records and both are trying to improve the seeding for the conference tournament. Purdue is coming off an easy home win over Indiana, but didn’t look good in their previous contest against Michigan. The Spartans are 4-3 away from home, but don’t really have a signature road win. Still, Michigan State is a really good team and this is the time of year where they keep getting better under Tom Izzo. The Boilermakers may win this game, but it won’t be as easy as their last home game. Michigan State will keep it close.

Pick: Michigan State +7.5
