Michigan vs Purdue College Basketball Betting Preview
It’s hard to think of a team recently that has been as disappointing as Michigan this season after being singled out by many as a National Championship contender. Sitting just three games over .500, Michigan likely won’t even make it to the tournament. As bad as the season has been for the Wolverines, they’ve had some success lately. They have won four of their last five with the only loss coming against #13 Michigan State on the road. Defense has been Michigan’s main problem this year as they allow more than 68 points per game. With an offense averaging just under 73, they’ve struggled to win convincingly down the stretch.
Purdue has been impressive this season, but their problem was winning inside the Big Ten early in the season. After starting just 1-2 in the Big Ten, Purdue has won seven of its last eight conference games thanks in large part to Jaden Ivey. He leads an elite offense that has put up 80 or more points in four straight games. While Purdue’s defense hasn’t been great either, they have more than enough offensive firepower to make up for it.
