Purdue @ Michigan

Current Records: Purdue 21-3; Michigan 12-9

What to Know

After two games on the road, the Michigan Wolverines are heading back home. Michigan and the #3 Purdue Boilermakers will face off in a Big Ten battle at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday at Crisler Center. The Wolverines are out to keep their four-game home win streak alive.

Michigan escaped with a win on Tuesday against the Penn State Nittany Lions by the margin of a single free throw, 58-57. Michigan's center Hunter Dickinson did his thing and posted a double-double on 19 points and 15 rebounds in addition to four blocks.

Meanwhile, Purdue strolled past the Illinois Fighting Illini with points to spare on Tuesday, taking the game 84-68. It was another big night for Purdue's guard Jaden Ivey, who had 26 points and six assists.

The Wolverines are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, as they've failed to beat the spread in six of their nine home games.

The wins brought Michigan up to 12-9 and the Boilermakers to 21-3. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Michigan is fourth worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only ten on average. Purdue is completely their equal: they are stumbling into the contest with the fourth fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only ten on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
