Purdue favored by 3.5 tonight. Hope BoilerBall proves me wrong, but I'm not feeling good about tonight's matchup on the road.

OSU can certainly beat us, and may very well, but I wouldn't touch this game. If I had to, I would pick Purdue to come back and win after a disappointing home loss just a few days ago.
Both teams very much need this game. Purdue wants to bounce back after the disappointing home loss to Minnesota and OSU doesn't want to start 0-2 on their way to Minnesota this weekend. This game will answer some questions for me about both teams this year. Glad I don't have to bet on it. I'd also take Purdue if forced to put money on it.
I go to Vegas every year for March madness - It is amazing how they come up with those lines and are so often so spot on. Purdue bounces back on the road and wins by 4
Another case of a team that has some size and athleticism, and guards capable of getting to the basket...the type of team that gives Purdue trouble.
OSU back home after a tough road loss...Purdue on the road after a disappointing home loss...as TC4Three had said, a game that both teams "need" to win in light of that, and both teams likely feel that...Purdue needs it more though if they are going to be in the mix for the league title, especially with another huge game that it has to have looming on Sunday.
It will be important for Purdue to get off to a good start, as if they fall behind big early as they have in losses to Minnesota and Louisville, it will be tough to overcome in Columbus.
Could be another tough night for Haas, and especially for Thompson, as they are matched up with guys that tend to give them trouble...Purdue can't afford to allow Lyle to repeatedly beat Thompson for the course of the game as it allowed Mason to on Sunday.
I live and work in Columbus and all the guys I work with absolutely think OSU will get destroyed tonight and I hope they're right. Living over here I catch myself watching more OSU basketball than I care to I think if Purdue can contain penetration and keep loving from going crazy we win by 8-12, that is a big if on the penetration. Plus with students not back and the buzz around the Blue Jackets game tonight I expect a very dead atmosphere, I just purchased row 5 tickets for 40 a piece if that tells you anything.
Maybe Neubs will give you a ride in the Gulfstream.
