Our High Point Panthers vs Purdue Prediction
Purdue has certainly been a solid team this season but simply does not have the same flair as they did last season when Zach Edey was still on the roster. The Boilermakers still average about 77 points per game, while allowing about 71 points per game.
As good as Purdue’s offense has been, High Point’s offense has been better in terms of scoring. The Panthers are averaging 82 points per game, in large part because they shoot 49.3% from the field. High Point also has a serviceable defense, allowing about 68.7 points per game.
It should be noted that the level of play in the Big Ten does not compare to the Big South. However, given that High Point can shoot the ball at an alarming rate, our High Point Panthers vs Purdue Boilermakers prediction is High Point +7.5.Grab an extra $200 for your High Point Panthers vs Purdue wager!
