GREAT 8: PURDUE vs TENN
(NCAAB) Tennessee vs. Purdue,
Money Line: -168.00 Purdue (Home)
Result: Win
The Purdue Boilermakers will face off with the Tennessee Volunteers for a trip to the final four. They met earlier in the season with Purdue coming away with a 71-67 win. Tennessee puts up 79.1 points per game and on the defensive end, they are giving up 67.3 points per game. Purdue is putting up 78.3 points a game and is giving up 72.9 points per game. The Vols love to shoot the three ball but Purdue's ability to defend the perimeter will make it difficult for the Tennessee offense to stay hot from long range. Edey has dominated inside, but they can light it up from deep with Smith shooting 44.2%, Loyer 45.0%, and Mason Gillis 48.3%. Edey should be able to have a big day against Aidoo. Aidoo has not fared well against other good big men he has gone against this season. I like Purdue to come away with a win and cover and put the past behind them.



Play on Purdue on the money line. This is a 3% play.
