Purdue @ Michigan State

Current Records: Purdue 24-4; Michigan State 18-9

What to Know

The Michigan State Spartans have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the #4 Purdue Boilermakers and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 8 of 2019. MSU and the Boilermakers will face off in a Big Ten battle at noon ET Saturday at Jack Breslin Student Events Center. Purdue will be strutting in after a victory while the Spartans will be stumbling in from a defeat.

MSU has to be hurting after a devastating 86-60 loss at the hands of the Iowa Hawkeyes on Tuesday. Forward Malik Hall (17 points) was the top scorer for MSU.

Meanwhile, Purdue strolled past the Rutgers Scarlet Knights with points to spare on Sunday, taking the game 84-72. The Boilermakers relied on the efforts of center Zach Edey, who had 15 points along with seven rebounds, and guard Jaden Ivey, who had 25 points.

The Spartans are expected to lose this next one by 5. Now might not be the best time to take MSU against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past three consecutive games.

MSU is now 18-9 while Purdue sits at 24-4. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: MSU is 19th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.6 on average. The Boilermakers have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 349th 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.
