Gamble College Sports - Basketball: PURDUE BOILERMAKERS at OHIO STATE BUCKEYES (2/7)
GAMBLE COLLEGE SPORTS - BASKETBALL — February 7
PURDUE at OHIO STATE
(Line: Ohio State -14, Total 131) — The Boilermakers did a pretty good job of keeping Jared Sullinger off the boards in two meetings last year, as he had just 13 rebounds in the two meetings. Of course, that’s when Purdue had more muscle on the inside. Now that JuJuan Johnson isn’t around anymore, they’re going to have to collapse on Sullinger, and they just don’t have enough useful size to do it. This is particularly problematic when Robbie Hummel is you major inside presence, because the guy is having enough difficulty with his own offensive games, having hit just 25 of his last 81 shots. We’ve got to side with the Buckeyes, who spread the ball around extremely well and are a sizzling 9-2 ATS at Columbus.
