Indiana Hoosiers vs. Purdue Boilermakers Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. Curt Cignetti’s hinted at the ideology that he’s focusing on keeping guys healthy for the potential Big Ten title game and the college football playoffs and not necessarily keeping his foot on the gas for a full 60 minutes here. Purdue has not been able to do much of anything offensively in conference play and I think that the under is the way to go in this one. Give me the under here.
