Purdue vs Indiana Prediction 2/23/25 College Basketball Picks

The Purdue Boilermakers and Indiana Hoosiers meet on Sunday in college basketball action at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Here’s a Purdue vs Indiana Prediction. This article will include a Purdue vs Indiana Pick.

Purdue Boilermakers Betting Preview

The Purdue Boilermakers (19-8, 15-12 ATS) are going through their worst period of the season. Purdue suffered three consecutive defeats following a four-game winning run; the Boilermakers lost to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Michigan State. It was the first time in five seasons that Purdue lost three games in a row. The Boilermakers now dropped to 5th place in the Big Ten, with the same record as Maryland and Wisconsin.

Purdue is averaging 78.2 PPG (82nd) and is allowing 70.0 PPG (125th). The Boilermakers are getting 32.6 RPG (358th) and are having 16.6 APG (40th). Trey Kaufman-Renn is the team’s top scorer with 19.6 PPG, along with a team-high 6.2 RPG, and 2.5 APG. Braden Smith adds 16.1 PPG, 4.7 RPG, a team-high 8. APG, and a team-high 2.4 SPG, while Fletcher Loyer contributes 13.7 PPG.

Indiana Hoosiers Betting Preview

The Indiana Hoosiers (15-11, 14-12 ATS) are struggling at the moment; they lost eight of the past ten games, and even though they managed to snap a five-game losing streak with a surprising road win over Michigan State, they returned to losing ways with a 72-68 home defeat to UCLA. Indiana is not even in the top 10 in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers are 11th at the moment and it doesn’t look like they will improve before the conference tournament starts.

Indiana averages 75.6 PPG (142nd) and allows 73.2 PPG (228th). The Hoosiers are 110th in rebounds (37.0) and 79th in assists (15.5). Oumar Ballo leads the team with 13.5 PPG, 9.4 RPG, and 1.5 BPG. Mackenzie Mgbako follows him with 13.0 PPG and 4.8 RPG, while Malik Reneau chips in with 12.7 PPG and 5.6 RPG.

Why Purdue will beat Indiana

• Purdue has won each of its last eight Sunday games.
• Indiana has lost each of its last five day games against AP-ranked opponents.
• The road team has won the first half in six of Indiana’s last seven games.

Purdue vs Indiana Prediction

I know that Purdue is shaky at the moment, but luckily for the Boilermakers, the Hoosiers are in even worse form, and I think the visitors can get back on track with a W on Sunday. Purdue won each of the last three H2H encounters and scored 79+ in all of those games. Indiana has a respectable 11-4 home record but lost the previous four home games, which is a great chance for Purdue to strike and secure a much-needed victory. Go with the Boilermakers to cover here.
