Purdue tickets go into flames...
    Absolutely...Purdue will have to play there best game of the year in order to win...MSU just needs to play an average game to win.

    Avoid and stay away from trying to be sharp or sneaky, pick another game

    Again, I'm not trying to be "sharp" or "sneaky" here -- just think that, even with a depleted lineup, the Boilers can cover in a very desperate situation against a traditionally road-mediocre opponent.

    Might be worth putting 1/2 unit on the dog and the under

    Edit: the thing is back to 4.5 (-105) at pinny so if you got it at 5.5 you have a good bet

    As expected, a team that is depleted wore down in the 2nd half.

    I don't know how the books found action on Purdue today, I really don't. A team that plays 7-8 deep loses 2 players playing the hottest team in the country?

    right now this team is absolutely locked in and look what we have here again, freaking Izzo has his team peaking just at the right moment. playing smothering lock down defense and getting scoring from everywhere. plus they owned Due a month ago so they are already in their heads.

    with Barlow being out Jackson isnt going to have any time to rest and they are going to need him and Hummel to both go for 20+ if they want to win this game.

    this is the game Purdues NCAA tourney hopes will be laid to rest. they have been a fraud all season, never really being a tourney team and imo tomorrow will prove it.
    Cashed the 2nd half under too. Happy as a pig in shit.

    Get um next time brother

    Purdue is a tournament team still. Being .500 in the best conference by far in college basketball is nothing to be ashamed of.

    "Wore down in the 2nd half" my ass. They came out flat as shit in the 2nd half, started out 1-22. Dont give me that wore down bs. They choked big after they got the lead at half. Soft team

    They only had 5 players score today. Tough to beat a team like Michigan State with 5 players. Byrd really stretched the floor for Purdue because he has been hot from 3. Not having him allowed MSU to tighten the defense in, Hummel was basically the only weapon so they doubled him and he shot 1-9 from 3.

    Then who is man? I really think people undervalue certain teams just based on their opinions.

    http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/bkt1112.htm

    Purdue is sitting there, well above some teams that are obvious tournament teams, like SMC, Notre Dame, Harvard, Cincinnati, Arizona, Murray State.

    The committee didn't punish teams like Uconn out of the Big East and they won't punish Purdue for playing in the best conference this year.

    If they aren't, your field will only include about 50 teams.

    They havent beaten anybody really. Best wins are Temple, Miami, Northwestern 2x, not a very impressive resume.
