Purdue vs. Iowa CBB Prediction:
Purdue looks to win their third straight, while Iowa is seeking their fourth straight victory.
Take the Boilermakers. Purdue already dominated Iowa on December 4th, winning by 19 points in West Lafayette. Iowa is currently better, but this just feels like a bad matchup for the Hawkeyes. Iowa had no answer for the Boilermakers in the first matchup and I don’t see that changing on Saturday. Purdue wins by double-digits here.
