The BIG 10 Banger is on Purdue. Game 524 at 2:20 eastern. The Boilermakers are in a huge and advantageous spot here as they are well rested and are taking on an Illinois team that is playing a 3rd straight day after beating Minnesota and upsetting Iowa as a 10.5 point dog. This is where their run ends. Purdue will be plenty motivated for this one as they have 14 point loss revenge in this one for a bad loss as a 10 point favorite earlier in the year. Purdue is 7-0 vs losing teams and has covered 4 of 5 in that role. Thye are on a shooting tear going over 50% from the field in their last 4 games. They have covered 9 of their last 12 games in March. The Illini are 1-10 vs winning teams failing to cover in 8 of 11 and have failed to cover 19 of 27 vs teams who score 77 or more. Play on Purdue.
