Livers is questionable again for this game as he deals with an ankle injury, and if they don’t have him in this game, that is a big loss.

The Boilermakers still have some work to do to make the NCAA tournament, but a win in this game would be a big boost. Purdue has lost three games in a row and they didn’t cover a spread in any of those games.

At home this season Purdue is averaging 77.6 points while their defense is giving up 59.8 points. If they want to win this game, the Boilermakers need their defense to be strong.

The Boilermakers are led by Trevion Williams who is averaging 11.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
