Who’s Playing
Davidson @ No. 1 Purdue
Current Records: Davidson 7-3; Purdue 10-0
What to Know
The #1 Purdue Boilermakers will take on the Davidson Wildcats at 6:15 p.m. ET Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Purdue will be hoping to build upon the 79-58 win they picked up against Davidson when they previously played in November of 2018.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers typically have all the answers at home, but on Saturday the Boilermakers proved too difficult a challenge. Purdue narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Nebraska 65-62. The top scorer for Purdue was guard Fletcher Loyer (22 points).
Meanwhile, the Wildcats beat the Western Carolina Catamounts 72-64 last Wednesday. Davidson’s forward David Skogman filled up the stat sheet, picking up 17 points in addition to six rebounds. Skogman’s performance made up for a slower contest against the Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens last week.
The Boilermakers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 15.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.
Their wins bumped Purdue to 10-0 and Davidson to 7-3. Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
