The Boilermakers are having a great year on offense. Purdue ranks 27th in points per game, averaging about 81.3 per night.
Caleb Swanigan continues to have a fantastic year leading this team. Swanigan’s averaging a double-double with 18.9 points and 13 rebounds per contest. He’s also shooting a very efficient 54.3% from the field.
The front court is the strength of this team’s offense. Along with Swanigan, Isaac Haas has been an important piece for this team under the basket. He’s averaging 13.4 points per game on 59.7% shooting.
Penn State Nittany Lions
It’s been quite a rough year for Penn State, sitting at 14-13 on the season and 8th in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions aren’t particularly good on either side of the ball and struggle to find consistency from game to game.
The best example of this is that Penn State got a solid, defense-heavy win over 21st-ranked Maryland, but then lost by 16 to Nebraska just a week later.
Offensively, the team scores just 72.2 points per game. Freshman Tony Carr leads the team in scoring with 12.6 points per game. He also grabs about 4.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists.

Free Purdue Boilermakers vs. Penn State Nittany Lions NCAAB Prediction:
Led by Caleb Swanigan, every game is a potential win for the Boilermakers. With the average defense of Penn State, Purdue’s frontcourt should be able to take advantage here and score a lot of points. Purdue gets the W on the road.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Purdue ATS
Look for a big game from Caleb Swanigan in this one. Penn State doesn’t have any player that can match him. Purdue should get out to a big lead here and cover the spread.
