Pick

Rutgers really struggled over the last month of the regular season, but they were able to knock off Michigan in their first game in the tournament. Rutgers has lost three of their last five games and they have scored fewer than 63 points in four of their last six games. Purdue has won three of their last four games and is the better offensive team. I like Purdue in this game and I think they will win by double digits.
