Texas vs Purdue Predictions & Picks

Purdue are tipped to cover as they advance to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.

The Boilermakers’ disciplined defensive play can slow down this Texas offense, and at the other end of the court another display of clinical, efficient shooting can see them through. 

  • Purdue have won all 6 of their postseason games so far
  • Purdue are 4-1-0 ATS in their previous 5 games
  • The Under has cashed in each of Texas’ last 4 games

Head To Head

  • Texas lead the all-time series 2-1
  • Purdue won 81-71 when the two teams last met in March 2022
