Todayâs Best College Basketball Bets: Purdue vs. Michigan State
Despite their 16-1 record, Purdue has had some close calls with single-possession wins over Nebraska and Michigan State, both coming on the road. Only one of Michigan Stateâs five losses has come at home, with Tom Izzo and Co. repping the ninth most difficult strength of schedule in the nation.
Both teams rarely force turnovers, ranking in the bottom 330 in the nation at doing so. This will be a slow, methodical game that will heavily lean on coaching rather than pure talent due to my prediction that both teams with be able to run what they want in the half-court.
If thatâs the case, how can you not take Tom Izzoâs side? Three of the last four games between these two teams in East Lansing have come down to one possession. Is anyone interested in a little overtime?
Play: Michigan State +2.5 (-104)
