Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Purdue vs. Minnesota
Thursday, January 19, 2023 7:00 PM
Play: Point Spread: -13.5/-110 Purdue
Minnesota coach Ben Johnson lauded his team's resolve Thursday after the Golden Gophers rallied at Ohio State to earn their first Big Ten victory of the season. In the next breath, Johnson reinforced the importance of staying persistent, a call Minnesota looks to answer when it faces Purdue Thursday. Purdue, however, will be a really tough opponent for Minnesota, as they are incredibly strong on the offensive and defensive glass. They are #4 in the country on the offensive boards and #1 defensively. We like Purdue to show up here and likely rout Minnesota as they are the better squad!
