What to Know

The #3 Purdue Boilermakers and the Michigan State Spartans are set to square off in a Big Ten matchup at 2:30 p.m. ET Jan. 16 at Jack Breslin Student Events Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with MSU winning the first 68-65 at home and the Boilermakers taking the second 75-70.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers typically have all the answers at home, but this past Friday Purdue proved too difficult a challenge. Purdue took down Nebraska 73-55. Purdue got double-digit scores from four players: guard Fletcher Loyer (27), center Zach Edey (12), forward Mason Gillis (10), and guard Braden Smith (10). That makes it nine consecutive games in which Zach Edey has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Spartans came up short against the Illinois Fighting Illini this past Friday, falling 75-66. Guard Jaden Akins wasn't much of a difference maker for MSU; Akins finished with only six points on 3-for-11 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.

The Boilermakers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 4-10 against the spread when favored.

Purdue didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with MSU when the two teams previously met in March of last year, but they still walked away with a 75-70 victory. Purdue's win shoved the Spartans out of the playoffs, so they have a target on their back.
