#741/742 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 141 Points – Minnesota @ Purdue, Saturday at 7:30 PM ET - We have 2 offenses in this game that have struggled in conference play. Purdue ranks 11th in the offensive efficiency with Minnesota ranking 10th in that category. These teams also rank 14th (last) and 11th in eFG% and 14th and 13th in 3 point percentage. The Gophers average 70 PPG in league play (7th) while Purdue averages 66 (11th). The Boilers are missing one of their top offensive performers as Sasha Stefanovic, who leads the Big 10 in 3 point shooting percentage, is out due to covid protocols. In their only game with out Stefanovic, Purdue scored 53 points at home vs Michigan last Friday. He’s a huge part of their offense and will be missed on Saturday. Minnesota has one of the largest home/road dichotomies on the nation. The Gophers average just 63 PPG on the road in Big 10 play and they’ve topped 65 points just once and that was @ Iowa who ranks 9th in the league in defensive efficiency and ranks 68th nationally in tempo. When Minnesota played @ Wisconsin and @ Michigan, 2 of the slower paced teams in the conference similar to Purdue, the Gophs scored 59 and 57 points. On top of that, Minnesota is shooting just 31% on the road (25% from 3) and Purdue has allowed an average of just 64 PPG in their 7 homes games this year. The Boilers will make this a slow paced game and we don’t see either team getting into the 70’s. Take the UNDER.
