By Kelvin Hunt
FSU basketball will take on No. 2 Purdue in the Big 10/ACC Challenge Tuesday night. Here is a look at the odds, how to watch, and a prediction.
FSU basketball (5-1) got their fourth consecutive win of the young 2021 season in an overtime game against Boston University nearly a week ago. The Noles played without starter RayQuan Evans and needed Anthony Polite, Matthew Cleveland, and Caleb Mills to carry the scoring load.
Defensively, it was one of the weaker efforts with Boston University shooting 48 percent from the floor at 9 of 27 from three-point range. Leonard Hamilton announced they’ll be without starters Evans(brother’s funeral) and Tanor Ngom Tuesday night.
FSU basketball vs. Purdue Odds and Prediction
WynnBET’s updated odds have the Noles as +11 point betting underdogs on the road. The over/under point total is 144, which implies a 78-67 type of game. Purdue (6-0) checks in at No. 2 in the latest KenPom rankings, and the Noles checked in at No. 29. Purdue has the No. 2 ranked offense and the No. 35 defense. The Boilermakers average 92 ppg and have four players averaging in double figures, while shooting 53 percent from the floor. They average 43 percent from three-point land and 76 percent from the charity stripe. They only average 12 turnovers per game. Purdue owns an 11 point win over No. 18 UNC and defeated No. 6 Villanova by six points.
Purdue is one of the few teams that can match FSU’s depth as they have 10 players averaging over 10 minutes per game. This game is one FSU will likely lose, but their strength this season has been their defense because their offense has been sporadic. They’ll need to play with a search of urgency on the defensive end, crash the boards, avoid turnovers, and make free throws to have a shot for the upset.
Prediction: Purdue 81, FSU 69
