T.M. Selection: Iowa/Purdue OVER.

I am on the over in the Iowa vs Purdue game on Sunday. Iowa has been a very high scoring team all year averaging 80+ points per game this year but they have had a lot of points put up against them too since they have been giving up 70+ points per game. They have won 3 games in a row now in this tourney and they have been really hot in their games, putting up 80+ points in all 3 of them. They have also been giving up 74+ points in all of those games but this has been a common theme for them all year and it goes back during the regular season too. Iowa really fought hard in their most recent game too, there were multiple occasions where they were down big but they kept pushing their offense and Keegan Murray ended up having a huge day. He put up 30+ points himself and his 3-pointers is what was keeping them in that game. Iowa has been shooting great in their games too and I think they are going to keep that up in this game too. Purdue hasn't been putting up as much points as Iowa has been in their games lately but I think Purdue is the better team here and I don't think their defense will be good enough to stop Iowa here. I expect Purdue to match Iowa on offense in this game since Iowa loves to hit the 3's and this could turn into a huge shootout. Despite the fact that Purdue hasn't put up a lot of points in their games lately, they actually average 80+ points per game and are giving up 65+ points per game. Purdue can put up a ton of points when they need to and I think this is going to be 1 of those games where they will have to outscore the opposing team to win. I expect a lot of points in this game, I like the over here.

T.M. Prediction: 84-80 Purdue.
