7:00 p.m. ET: Wisconsin Badgers (10-2) at Purdue Boilermakers (12-1)

Spread: Purdue -12.5
Total: 140

The #3 Purdue Boilermakers look for its 6th straight win over #24 Wisconsin at Mackey Arena. The last victory for the Badgers at Purdue was a 72-58 win in 2014. Johnny Davis is averaging 17.3 points and 5.5 rebounds to lead the charge for the Badgers. Brad Davison is producing 14.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. The Boilermakers have been led by Jaden Ivey, who is averaging 16.7 points and 5.1 rebounds along with Edey at 14.9 points and 7.3 rebounds in just 17.5 minutes per contest, and Trevion Williams adds 13.3 points and 9.1 boards.. Wisconsin didn’t play for two weeks due to COVID. In its most recent game barely beat Illinois State 89-85 at home on Wednesday after leading by 17 early in the second half. The Badgers were missing five players due to health and safety protocol. Despite the large number on this spread, it’s hard to see how Wisconsin stops either of the Boilers’ big men on the inside. Purdue should dominate the glass, on both ends of the floor as well. Wisconsin is a perfect 10-0 when it scores at least 61 points. The Badgers are 0-2 when scoring any fewer than 61. Purdue has won its last 8 home games, scoring an average of 91.8 points while giving up 63.8. Take Purdue to cover the spread and the Under in this one.
