The Illini started off as a 1 point favorite and that number is now up to 1.5. The total has gone from 152.5 to 151.
Purdue Boilermakers
Purdue has had one very impressive season thus far. They are definitely one of the better teams in college basketball at the moment.
The Boilermakers easily took care of the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Friday by a score of 92-65. They did just what they had to do against a team they are a lot better than.
As the year goes on, I only expect this group to get better and more dangerous. Other teams have certainly got to watch out for this squad.
Zach Edey was the leading scorer for this team in their last game with 22 points and 9 rebounds. Jaden Ivey also had 17 points and 5 assists.
Illinois Fighting Illini
Just like with Purdue, Illinois has had one helluva year so far. I just want to see more of what this team can do because they have a very talented and well-coached group.
The Fighting Illini come into this game with a record of 14-3. Getting win number fifteen will certainly be no easy task as they go against this loaded Boilermakers team.
This squad took care of the Michigan Wolverines on Friday by a score of 68-53. The task will be much taller when they host Purdue on Monday.
Kofi Cockburn, who has had an amazing season, had 21 points and 10 rebounds in their last game. When he is on his game, it is very hard to stop that man.

4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Purdue ATS
Either team winning this game would be a statement win for me. From the perspective of either squad, it is by no means something easy to get this win.
I know these are two very good teams, but I trust the Boilermakers more here. I consider them to be the better team and I think they can put that on display on Monday afternoon.
I get that it is a small number to lay, but I do not love Illinois laying it. I can see this game being very close and it would not shock me if the Boilermakers won it outright.
Give me Purdue getting the 1.5 points in this game here.
