Purdue vs Gonzaga Preview & Picks

Purdue are backed to cover the spread as they advance to the Elite Eight.

The Boilermakers swept aside Gonzaga during the regular season, and in the form they are in it is tough to see anything other than a repeat. 

  • Purdue are 31-4 so far this season
  • Purdue beat Gonzaga by 10 points during the regular season
  • The Over has cashed in 14 of Purdue’s last 21 games
  • The Over has hit in 8 of Gonzaga’s last 11 games

Head To Head

  • Purdue lead the all-time series 4-0
  • Purdue won 73-63 when the two teams last met on November 20

Purdue Form

Purdue take an outstanding record into this Sweet 16 game, having won 31 of their 35 games this season.

The Boilermakers enjoyed nine-game and a couple of seven-game win streaks during the regular season, which they ended with a five-game streak.

They took that streak to six games when they beat Michigan State in the quarter-finals of the Big Ten tournament, 67-62.

However, Purdue’s bid to win the conference tournament came to a shuddering halt when they lost 76-75 in overtime to Wisconsin.

Purdue’s response at March Madness has been an emphatic one, as they have followed up a 78-50 blowout of Grambling State with a 106-67 rout of Utah State.

Gonzaga Form

Gonzaga go into this big Sweet 16 showdown in good form, having now won 11 of their last 12 games.

The Bulldogs ended the regular season with an eight-game win streak in response to a surprise loss to Saint Mary’s (CA) on February 3.

They kept that run going in the semi-finals of the West Coast Conference tournament, beating San Francisco 89-77.

However, Gonzaga failed to make it 10-in-a-row in the final as they suffered another surprise defeat to Saint Mary’s (CA), this time losing 69-60.

The Bulldogs have bounced back in the national tournament though, following up an 86-65 win over McNeese State with an 89-68 success against Kansas.

Verdict

These two teams met in the regular season and Purdue took the bragging rights by double digits.

We are expecting a similar outcome here as the Boilermakers march into the Elite Eight of March Madness.
