Purdue vs Queens Analysis
Purdue is going to be able to score at will in this one.
Queens’ defense is flimsy at best and a layup line at worst, as the Royals are thin across the roster, and their positional length isn’t enough to compensate for that physical frailty.
Queens has not played up well this season. The Royals lost by 20 at Villanova, 25 at Virginia, 28 at Arkansas, 38 at Wake Forest and 41 at Auburn. Unsurprisingly, that made for an 0-5 record against the spread.
Playing fast as a team with no defense and a major athleticism deficiency is a terrific recipe for getting blown out by better teams.
Trey Kaufman-Renn and Oscar Cluff could combine for 40 points and 20 rebounds in this one. With Braden Smith potentially breaking the all-time assist record in this game, Purdue’s offense will be humming.
Purdue controlling the tempo and forcing this into the half-court prevents me from adamantly endorsing the over, but the Boilers — or simply the Boilers’ team total — will be an appealing wager in my eyes.
