    I watched both teams play yesterday.Due may have spent a lot of energy,but the fact they scored 91 points against a quick and big iona team can not be ignored.I think this line is off by 6-7 points.Purdue should handle temple no prob IMO.Good luck.Im on Purdue 330 to win 300 -1.....One of my fav plays of the day.Great value too!

    Temple plays 6-8 players and has less depth, but more talent with teh starters. They played a ton of minutes last game, but Purdue also went to the wire vs. Iona. This game will come down to Temple defense and Purdues ability to hit 3's. What pushes me toward Temple is Purdue's struggles one the freethrow line. It can go either way, but I see Temple winning by 4-6 late.

    This right here is enough to keep me away. Two well-respected (in my book) cappers on opposite sides.

    Something tells me this game is the toss-up the line indicates.

    I like Purdue in this spot as well. Michael Eric's size will be a problem for Purdue, but their perimeter game will be too much for Temple to keep up with...much like Arizona over St. John's last night. Temple is also a poor FT shooting team which is obviously huge in PK games.

    Purdue went 11-20 v Iona and 6-19 v HP from the line. No advantage in FT. I think you're right about the perimeter game. If Purdue shoots lights out from deep, Temple won't be able to keep up...The more I look at it, the more I'm going to stay away from this one.

    Good point about the FTs...But I was considering Purdue to have the advantage there because I believe Temple will need to rely on them alot more than Purdue in order to win this game. Temple can't afford to get in a 3pt contest with Purdue. They need to attack the paint and feed Eric...which should lead to them having more attempts from the FT line than Purdue. FTs are much less a part of Purdue's game than Temple's is what I was going for I guess. No way Temple can keep up with Purdue on 3s alone...Purdue has superior outside shooting.

    You're right though...Percentage wise there is no advantage either way.
