The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are 0-1 this season after they lost to Michigan by a score of 121-78 in their first game. Oakland trailed 69-38 at halftime and allowed 52 more points in the second half for the lopsided loss.

Isaac Garrett led the Golden Grizzlies with 20 points and one assist, while Tuburu Naivalurua added 18 points and five rebounds in the game. 

Oakland really struggled to get stops on the defensive end of the court, but they did a decent job of scoring points and taking care of the basketball. The Golden Grizzlies allowed Michigan to shoot 64.3% from the field, allowed 19 made three pointers, and allowed 46 points in the paint. Oakland never led in the game and they had 26 points in the paint in the game. 

Purdue Boilermakers Betting Preview

The Purdue Boilermakers are 1-0 this year after they defeated Evansville by a score of 82-51 in their last first game. Purdue led 41-22 at halftime and added 41 more points in the second half for the blowout win. The Boilermakers shot 47.5% from the field, 44.8% on three pointers, and 81.3% on free throws in the game. Purdue tied the rebounding battle at 40, recorded 22 assists, and committed just seven turnovers in the win. Fletcher Loyer led the Boilermakers with 30 points and one assist, while Jack Benter and Daniel Jacobsen added 11 points each. 

Purdue played very strong defense in their victory over Evansville to start the season and they were able to cruise to an easy win. The Boilermakers held their opponent to just 30% shooting from the field and only allowed four free throw attempts, but they did allow 20 offensive rebounds and 22 points in the paint. Purdue’s largest lead was 38 points and they had 22 points in the paint in the victory. 

Why the Purdue Boilermakers will win

• Purdue has won each of its last 26 night games against non-Conference opponents at Mackey Arena.
• Oakland has lost each of its last four games against non-Conference opponents.
• Oakland has lost the first half in each of its last six road games against Top 10 AP-ranked opponents.

Oakland vs Purdue Prediction 

Purdue was able to get a 31 point win to start their season against Evansville and will play an Oakland defense that allowed 121 points to Michigan in their first game. The Golden Grizzlies really struggled to slow down a Michigan team that shot over 64% from the field. Purdue is a very talented team that has plenty of experience from last year, so I expect a similar outcome to that Michigan game. I would take a look at the over just based on Oakland’s defensive effort in their first game, but I like Purdue to really pull away in the second half and cover.
