I get why Rutgers is worth a look at home, as the Jersey Mike’s Arena can be a tough place to go on the road and win. However, outside of Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, I think there’s a gap in the scoring depth between the top and bottom parts of the lineup. Purdue may not be the same rebounding team as years past when Zach Edey was in his office in the paint. But the Boilers do still have solid guard depth in Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer and Trey Kaufman-Renn has been a solid scorer in the frontcourt.
