Duke at Purdue (Erik Scheponik)
Purdue -2 over Duke
Simply backing a team that I believe to be one of the nation’s 7-8 best teams that looks undervalued tonight on a home floor where they have won 36 of the last 38 games they have played (21-9 $). Love the chemistry and unselfishness of this Boilermaker team and think they’ll rebound off of a hard fought overtime loss against Oklahoma, a game where they had to fight against a 46-5 (not a typo) FTA disadvantage. They’ll probably lose that battle again against Duke, although I’m sure not quite to the extent that they lost it against OU, and they are just as quick and defend even better than the Blue Devils do on the perimeter. Duke not nearly as rugged inside as the Griffin boys, and in their first road test, they are up against maybe the best perimeter team/basketball IQ team in the nation. Purdue by 6
Off to an excellent 77% (17-5) start on the hardwood, I have an even stronger selection from Tues. night’s card available at Capper’s Gallery! Ride the hot capper at the Gallery!
