This one’s interesting because after a season split that featured one Purdue blowout win and one eked-by Michigan win, Michigan ended the regular season on a three game skid and this will be the team’s first game since Sunday.
A good bit of these advanced stats went WAY down in that three game UMich losing streak.
Purdue currently sits as 60% favorites to win by a predicted score of 76-73.
