The Austin Peay Governors got their boots smoked by NC State, and things don’t get any easier for them in this matchup. The Purdue Boilermakers didn’t shoot the ball well in their season opener and still comfortably got the job done, which is a bit scary. Purdue is simply the far and away more talented team in this spot. Even with a look ahead spot for Purdue with Marquette on deck, I’ll lay whatever the number is with the Boilermakers.
