The PLAY: Purdue -4.5 (-118)
What really pushes this matchup toward Purdue -4.5 is how overwhelmingly consistent the Boilers have been on both ends compared to an Indiana team that simply doesn’t have the defensive backbone to survive long stretches against elite efficiency. Purdue is scoring 84.0 ppg on 51.3% shooting, one of the best offensive profiles in the country, and they pair that with 20.5 assists per game, which tells you how clean and connected their half‑court execution is. Indiana’s defense isn’t built to handle that—they’re allowing opponents to shoot 40.9%, but the real issue is the perimeter: IU gives up 35.0% from three in league play and ranks outside the top 250 in opponent 3PA rate, a brutal matchup against a Purdue team hitting 38.3% from deep. Purdue’s defense also travels better than people give them credit for, holding opponents to 69.1 ppg, 42.9% shooting, and a top‑10 national ranking in opponent free‑throw rate, which matters against an Indiana team that relies heavily on getting to the line. Indiana’s offense looks respectable at 81.2 ppg, but that number is inflated by non‑conference games; in Big Ten play, their efficiency dips sharply, and they’ve struggled to generate consistent scoring outside the paint. Purdue’s interior defense—51.6% allowed on twos—is strong enough to force IU into jump shots they don’t hit often enough. Add in Purdue’s massive edge on the glass, and the matchup leans heavily toward the Boilers being able to separate late.
