Northwestern vs. Purdue CBB Prediction:
Northwestern looks for their third straight victory, while Purdue is on a five-game winning streak.
Take the over. Purdue is unstoppable at home, I imagine the Boilermakers will led for majority of this game. Northwestern likes to play at a slow pace, however if they fall behind early they will have to try and play catch up which dictates more possessions for each team. Both teams are efficient offensively and have shooting up and down their lineups. Over is the play.
