stats

Stats are a good indicator of what should happen, however there are so many elements of luck and opportunity in a game of basketball that stats are overrated as a sure sign that one team is capable of beating another on a given night. I say Gophers 68 purdue 60. Go gophers and play at your best.

Very true. That's why we play the games. What fun would sports be if the team that was expected to win won every time?

Purdue RP! 66, Gophers 58.5 eight point diff + 3 or 5 (depends to whom you listen) for home court. Total line 11-13.
