With the Sweet 16 finally underway in NCAA basketball, there is a game between two quality opponents. These teams are the Purdue Boilermakers and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. According to the tournament seedings, these teams are somewhat even and Purdue is currently a two point favorite to win this game. Both of these teams have an opportunity to go to the Elite Eight and to potentially win a national championship. Expect this game to be extremely competitive as a result.
Purdue’s success is also due to its high scoring offense. This season, the Boilermakers average the 38th most points per game in all of college basketball with 80.8 points per game. Its scoring offense is due to its elite three point shooting and unselfish style of play. Purdue is currently shooting 42.1% from the three point line and the team ranks 24th in all of college basketball in assists per game. This combo makes Purdue almost impossible to outscore which is what Texas Tech will have to do if it wants to win this contest.
Texas Tech’s success is due to its elite defense. This season, Texas Tech is allowing 64.7 points per game which is the 18th fewest in all of college basketball this season. The Red Raiders also average the 46th most steals per game with 7.3 and use constant pressure to keep their opponents off-guard. This combo gives the Red Raiders one of the best defenses in all of college basketball which should be able to limit Purdue’s offense on Friday.
As for my prediction, I have to side with Texas Tech. Purdue is currently dealing with a serious injury to star center Isaac Haas and I do not believe that this team will be able to handle Texas Tech’s big men with his injury. Although this game should be really close, I expect Texas Tech to make its first Elite Eight in program history.
