The Purdue Boilermakers are elite offensively, possibly the best offensive team in the country, and shots usually fall at an even higher percentage with a packed house at home. However, this line is very disrespectful to a well coached team such as FSU that’s still one of the better defensive teams in the country. The Florida State Seminoles are not a pushover, and they also have some offensive depth of their own. Give me the free buckets in what should be a battle.
