Our McNeese Cowboys vs Purdue Prediction
For this game, we will be targeting a player prop, that being Trey Kaufman-Renn for the Purdue Boilermakers to grab 7+ rebounds. Kaufman-Renn is averaging 6.3 rebounds per game this season, which leads the Boilermakers but has been much better as of late. For one, he is averaging 7.8 rebounds over his last 5 games. Further, Kaufman-Renn has had at least 7 rebounds in each of his last 5 games, which includes Purdue’s first-round game against High Point where he had 8 boards.
Because of this and because McNeese State is not known as an elite rebounding team, our McNeese State Cowboys vs Purdue Boilermakers prediction is Trey Kaufman-Renn to have 7+ rebounds.Jackpot Pools
