NC State vs. Purdue CBB Prediction:
Give me Purdue. NC State continues to play with house money during this amazing tournament run. They are fun to watch and continue to surpass every expectation. Unfortunately, for the Wolfpack they now have to face Zach Edey and Boilermaker team that is playing their best basketball of the season. Purdue has made it clear of their gameplan give Edey a touch nearly every time down the floor and they have shown this tournament it is basically unstoppable. For NC State to cover they are going to have to hope Edey gets in early foul trouble, or Purdue just can’t make an outside shot. If the Boilermakers play a decent game, I believe they win this game by double-digits.
