Purdue Boilermakers vs. Iowa Hawkeyes Prediction
The Iowa got destroyed on the road vs. Purdue but can rebound here tonight. They shot a putrid 37.3% from the floor and 23.5% from behind the arc and they should rebound tonight at Carver-Hawkeye Arena where they have averaged 88.5 points per game on 47.8 shooting. The host has gotten the victory in seven of the last eight in this series and while I’m not calling for an outright win, I’ll take the half dozen points.
