Play: Total: 132/-101 Over
Pick Title: NCAA Free Play

Purdue and Xavier OVER 132

This one should be a shootout. Both scoring over 70 ppg their last 5 games and the Boilermankers are hitting an impressive 45% from beyond the arc. Both teams like an uptempo style and neither team plays outstanding defense, as evidenced by Purdue's defemse allowing 67 ppg their last 5, but they can hang with anyone on offense. Purdue topped 90 points against Baylor while Xavier managed 70 points against a good Georgia team. It also should be noted that BOTH teams hit 70% or over from the charity stripe. This will be a good game, evenly matched, and I expect both teams to have 35-40 points by halftime and then open it up in the second half as well.

Play the Over for a free selection.
