Marquette vs. Purdue Prediction

I’m on the over here. I think this is going to be a bit of a track meet as Purdue has a ton of talented guards that can pour it on, while Marquette has the same but with talented bigs inside that can slash and get to the bucket. I think this is going to be one of the most entertaining games of the day, so give me the over here.
