Tues NC2A picks

Purdue -11 over PSU 2.65 units to make 2.62 units

PSU shot 48% vs. MSU, I don't think that happens tonight vs Purdue ( Purdue has given up opponent shooting over 50% last two games, but I think they are going to come out concentrating on defense). They Crushed PSU by 22 a few weeks ago @ PSU, and have a great home court advantage being 12-1 SU this year, key wins being Ohio State, Louisville and Wisconsin @ home and are 4-1 ats over last 5 games and 6-1 ATS last 7. Key stat is PSU makes only 60% of their free throws. To cover purdue has to shoot well and limit PUS offensive bounds, as PSU should have the rebounding edge.

Texas A.M. -6.5 over Iowa State 1 unit to make 1.10 units

Wesley Johnson out for Iowa State. I think A & M will be to much for them with out him.

GL Woodfall....me thinks that West Lafayette is a touch place to shoot for visitors also.....

well it was close for the boilermakers for a while there, but like I thought, PSU can just not make Freethrows. 5-14 or 35%, where purdue hit 14-16 for 87%. Any time you can find a close line against PSU take it (not that tonight was, and I was somewhat concerned that Purdue could cover the spread), as long as they continue to blow chunks at the line, they will get beat. I learned my lesson in the Minnesota game at PSU
