What to Know
The #2 Purdue Boilermakers and the Iowa Hawkeyes are set to square off in a Big Ten matchup at 9 p.m. ET Dec. 3 at Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers are out to keep their five-game home win streak alive.
Purdue made easy work of the Florida State Seminoles on Tuesday and carried off a 93-65 win. Five players on Purdue scored in the double digits: guard Jaden Ivey (18), guard Brandon Newman (13), guard Isaiah Thompson (12), center Zach Edey (12), and guard Sasha Stefanovic (11).
Meanwhile, the Virginia Cavaliers typically have all the answers at home, but on Monday Iowa proved too difficult a challenge. Iowa escaped with a win by the margin of a single free throw, 75-74. Guard Jordan Bohannon and forward Keegan Murray were among the main playmakers for Iowa as the former shot 6-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 20 points and the latter had 18 points along with nine rebounds.
The Boilermakers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 15.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a five-game streak of ATS wins.
The wins brought Purdue up to 7-0 and the Hawkeyes to 7-0. A couple offensive stats to keep an eye on: Purdue enters the game with a 54.50% field goal percentage, which is the best in college basketball. Iowa has displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they rank first in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 94 on average.
