Purdue looks to win their fifth straight, while Rutgers looks to get back in the win column.
Give me Rutgers. The Scarlett Knights are always tough at home and have a physical team that make life difficult for Zach Edey and the Boilermakers. Furthermore, they have a week to prepare for this one, I expect a great showing from the Scarlett Knights to keep this game interesting.
