Illinois State at Purdue

Valparaiso beat Purdue 83-80 in double overtime on Friday night, the Beacons' first win over the Boilermakers since 1965. Rakim Chaney, a true freshman, scored 35 points for Valparaiso with eight rebounds and six assists. Gonzaga, ranked 15th, beat Purdue 78-72 on November 2 on a neutral floor. That leaves Purdue 0-1 at home and 0-1 away from it, and a heavy favorite against the Redbirds. Illinois State has its own scoring record. Johnny Kinziger scored 30 points in a 90-85 overtime loss at Saint Mary's on November 2, 21 of them in the second half and overtime. Malik Messina-Moore then scored 18 in a 100-55 win over Central State on Thursday, and Kinziger added 16 in that game. Illinois State has scored in volume in both of its games, and Purdue has already given a freshman guard a 35-point night. Allen made all seven of his shots against Central State and Kinziger hit five of six from three-point range, so I'll play the OVER tonight.
