Randy’s Pick
The Purdue Boilermakers could obviously blow the doors off here given the talent gap, but it could be a look ahead spot with Xavier on deck Monday. The Morehead State Eagles are also an experienced roster with 7 seniors, and they gave Alabama a competitive game earlier this week. While Morehead State wasn't able to play much defense, it scored 73 points and forced 13 turnovers. A nice warm-up game for Morehead State and the experience should have this team ready to put up another fight. Lot of points. Give me the road dog.
