Trevion Williams is averaging 14.1 points and 9.6 rebounds while Sasha Stefanovic is averaging 11.3 points and 3.1 rebounds.

The Penn State Nittany Lions need a win after losing five of their last seven games. The Penn State Nittany Lions are averaging 72.7 points on 41 percent shooting and allowing 73.8 points on 46.7 percent shooting. Myreon Jones is averaging 14.8 points and 1.9 assists while Izaiah Brockington is averaging 13.9 points and 4.7 rebounds.

The Boilermakers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 road games and 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. The Nittany Lions are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 4-0 in Boilermakers last 4 road games. The under is 5-2 in Nittany Lions last 7 overall. The road team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The Purdue Boilermakers have comfortably been the better team all season long and already have a win over PSU this season. The Penn State Nittany Lions are very limited on the offensive end of the floor and only win at home by an average of 1.6 points, so nobody is scared to play them where they’re most comfortable. In a near pick em, I’ll gladly back Purdue on the road.
