Purdue is coming into this game with a 6-1 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games, but this team is still a shell of what it has been over the last few years. They have lost a lot of talent to the NBA over the last few years and they are off to a great start this season, but they have also played a lot of their games at home. They have played 5 games at home against much weaker teams with their only quality win coming against Alabama, but they followed that win up with an 18 point loss to Marquette in their 1st road game of the season. Now they are coming off of a 10 point win against NC State in their 1st neutral location game of the season, but now they are getting a stronger opponent here that is also ranked. They are going up against an Ole Miss team that is 6-0 this season and they are returning a lot of starters from last season. They finished last season 20-11 overall and struggled a bit more in the SEC, but Chris Beard really turned that team around from where they were the season before and now these players are looking to take a big step in his 2nd season coaching the team. They have also played a lot of their games at home this season against weaker teams, but they have 2 wins in neutral locations this season. They beat Colorado State by 15 points in a neutral location and now they are coming off of an 11 point win against BYU in OT in their last game, but they have also been very dominant in their games with their last 4 straight wins all coming by 10+ points. Ole Miss has a chance to make a big statement in this game with a win against Purdue and this team is going to be motivated with Chris Beard working his wonders. Ole Miss will cover the spread in this game.
