A different-looking Purdue these days minus Zach Edey, but still scoring better than 85 pg in the early going and hitting 46% of its 3s with a lineup now spinning around vet Gs Fletcher Loyer (17 ppg) and Braden Smith (15.5 ppg). Rugged 6-9 Trey Kaufman-Renn is more in the mold of traditional functional Purdue bigs and is scoring at an impressive 18 pg. Meanwhile, Shaka Smart's new-look Marquette has thus far not been missing G Tyler Kolek (now NBA Knicks). Instead, G Kam Jones (now 24 ppg) is the star of the show as he continues to remind the support base of another explosive Marquette wing...Dwyane Wade. These teams are combining for 168 ppg so clearing 152 seems within reason. Play Purdue-Marquette "Over"

I was waiting to see which way this line went and it moved to Marquette so I missed the good number. I'm going to just take the ML here. I like the Golden Eagles to win the game. Purdue got me against Alabama but I still question this Boilermakers' defense. Look for Kam Jones and the Marquette guards to give Purdue's defense problems. Marquette is 9-1 straight up in its last 10 home games. I'm comfortable laying around -150 with the Golden Eagles.
