NCAAB - Purdue vs NC State
(NCAAB) North Carolina State vs. Purdue, 04/06/2024 6:09 PM, Score: 50 - 63
Total: 146.50 | -108.00 Over
Result: Loss
I'm on the Over 146.5 in this final four matchup of Purdue and NC State for these reasons:

- Mainly because Purdue has sketchy defense and will give NC State more opportunities from beyond the arc, rather than let DJ take over in the paint, also, NC State should avoid a battle with Zach Edy in the paint, so they defensively might for the ball away from him as well.

- These teams combine for a 43-26 record to the Over this season.

- NC State struggle defending the deep shot, and Purdue have the 2nd best 3pt percentage in the NCAA (40%).

- From the last 2 matchups played, this is the weakest defense Purdue will have played in that stretch. Gonzaga and Tennessee were better defensive teams and Purdue put 72 and 80 on them.

Official Play: Over 146.5

Side Bet: Purdue Team Total Over 77.5
