Duke (+2) at Purdue – ESPN 9 pm ET

Duke (7-0, 4-3 ATS) has a perfect 9-0 record in this battle between well-known conferences. The Blue Devils are still perimeter oriented, with any number of players capable of beating their opponent off the dribble and taking the ball to the rim. The Dukies are 14-7 after a blowout win by 20 points or more.

Purdue (5-1, 3-2 ATS) is a mere 2-5 in The Challenge, with both wins coming at home. The Boilermakers are coming off a disappointing loss to Oklahoma in the NIT final, losing in overtime 87-82. E’Twaun Moore and Robbie Hummel are the stars of Purdue and they play very good defense as well. Purdue has won 13 in a row at Mackey Arena (10-3 ATS) and are 9-1 ATS as a home favorite of six points or less over the last three seasons.

Duke has to be considered dangerous in this position, yet Purdue is angry off a loss and the rabid crowd could make it hard.
