What to Know

The #3 Purdue Boilermakers will be home for the holidays to greet the Incarnate Word Cardinals at 7 p.m. ET Monday at Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers are out to keep their six-game home win streak alive.

The Butler Bulldogs typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Purdue proved too difficult a challenge. Purdue took their contest against Butler by a conclusive 77-48 score. It was another big night for Purdue's guard Jaden Ivey, who shot 6-for-6 from downtown and finished with 22 points and five boards.

Meanwhile, the oddsmakers predicted a rough game for Incarnate Word this past Thursday, and boy were they were right. They ended up on the wrong side of a painful 85-55 walloping at the Rice Owls' hands.

The Boilermakers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 38.5-point (!) margin of victory. Those taking them against the spread are banking on an outcome similar to that of the team's matchup this past Saturday, where they covered a 15.5-point spread.

Purdue's win brought them up to 10-1 while the Cardinals' loss pulled them down to 2-9. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Purdue comes into the matchup boasting the fifth highest field goal percentage in college basketball at 51.60%. Less enviably, Incarnate Word has allowed their opponents to shoot 50.50% from the floor on average, which is the 357th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against Incarnate Word.
