Michigan St.- Purdue Tuesday

[FearTheRaven]

Hope to get a discussion like the uconn-pitt thread.

Have a heavy lean to Purdue in this one. Think the lockdown D gets to Mich St. here.

Any updates on injuries and such would be appreciated.

Opening Line is Purdue -2.5

mich st has been pretty tough on the road this year, although this will be their toughest game in the conference, hard to go against them with purdue team so beat up.

 

[In2Win]

Beat up or not this purdue team has really shown that they have players that can step up. I'm sure the public will be all over michigan st with the small line.

Tough game to call

 

[papicker]

i duno id expect the action to be pretty even honestly, purdue is still a top 20 team, not suprised they are favored at all.

 

[papicker]

by the way i hate the big 10 scheduling, play everyone 2 times except 2 teams, yet a rivalry like purdue indiana only gets one game, even though indiana sucks this year.

 

[wiskers1]

any idea if hummel is playing with his back injury

 

[papicker]

hes playing it says limited minutes

 

[goblue12]

Michigan State (ML) is the play.

- MSU hasn't lost a true road game this year
- Purdue hasn't beaten an RPI Top-25 team all year

Hummel is more important to this team than people think. He will not be 100%, without him they look lost on Offense at times and lack rebounding and you know MSU can board.

mich st looks too easy........ purdue gets it done at home...... home team has dominated this series

 

[griffinm]

even if hummel plays, think about it, a stress fracture in your back? :think2:

imagine jumping around with that and jarring it aroiund.

Mich state is talented and has athletes inside and on the perimeter, size strength and talent will get it done against purdue.

both teams have proven themselves but this is the right time to play on michigan state in my opinion, they playing good ball and healthy

Purdue has been "mediocre" without Hummel against good competition, as of late. Their recent losses are all on the road, so I think it's hard to gauge how they will fare at home against a good team.

They have been good at home, even without Hummel but not against a top-quality opponent. If MSU shows up, I think they win outright.

Does anyone know when Hummel went out? They have some good conference wins (both home and road), but I think they were all with Hummel.

lean: Purdue -2.5

line should be purdue -4 or -5

 

[liftnbet]

btw line is now purdue -2... ppl betting state hard.. may go down even more! 80% on state so far (1200 bets)

 

[papicker]

wheres the 80% bets on this at, i have a hard time believing that, game is about even action i would think, 2.5 is still the line i see.

 

[Shub]

I like the Under 129

I got Mich St. at 79% ats and 63% ml

 

[eoghater]

you should take those statistics sites with a grain of salt. They have books as advertisers so you don't know if they manipulate the information. Secondly, you don't know if the % are based on the amount of money placed or the # of bets placed on the team. I would value more the dime bet rather than the multiple 20 dollar wagers, but you'll never know that info.

Understand your postion. I get most stats from CBS Sports Online.
