I know their is some bias in your pick despite the write-up, but either way you are correct. Purdue will win by DD at the Barn. MN won a huge game against Wisky in their last home game and as usual they won't play to that level in 2 in a row at Williams against a solid team. And yes Purdue is at least a level above Wisky when healthy.
Purdue 69 Minnesota 55
#3) Keaton Grant – Purdue is a hard team to beat with Lewis Jackson healthy, and with the big 3 making big time shots. Though, Purdue is almost impossible to beat if Keaton Grant joins into that mix as that fourth or fifth consistent scorer for Purdue. Grant, after being benched for Kelsey Barlow, has finally awoken from his shooting slump. Grant is shooting 50% from three point range in the past 2 games, and is averaging 14 points in that same time span. If Keaton Grant continues his great play, along with the others doing their job, Purdue will not go down at
As for the Gophers, I would let Grant shoot. I would test him early on in the game, or whenever he gets in, and to make sure he is fully back. I would love to think that Grant is out of his slump, but the past 2 games could have been a fluke. Though, if Grant is continuing that great play, then I will start to guard him more aggressively on the perimeter.
In the end, the line is low, given the toughness it is for a Tubby Smith team, revenge game, a big home court advantage, and with Michigan St on deck for Purdue. Purdue wins this game, but VERY close (4 points or so). To be safe, my pick is:
PURDUE ML (10 units)
And I want to remind everyone to BET WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD. Just because I’m going big on this play doesn’t mean everyone else should as well. I’m up over double what this play will be, so if I lose I can still move forward. Tread lightly people and be smart with your money is the best advice I can give you.
very well said 
i'm laying off that game.
really only one or two games i may add later - San Diego St and/or South Florida, but that would be it 
candytiltin - i would love a final score like that, but it won't be that lopsided.
ex4life - 
got a 12 pack of Diesel and some Jack and Coke, ready to get this started
lots of love for pitt and purdue, correct. But all that means is covers will be in celebration mode later tonight (at least we hope right)
Painter wont allow that, this team is not you average thug, one-on-one teams like UNC who only care about draft stock and dollar signs. Painter is one of the best coaches in the NCAA and this is a great TEAM, play great TEAM ball. They arent flashy like some of the other top teams, but they work really hard and have great chemistry
Established in 1995,
but im not too worried about wit
Ive learned from a few previous mistakes on that front. I generally try to stay away from teams like these because I really have no outside knowledge myself when it comes to UNC-Greensboro... either way BOL on that play, that system of his seems interesting
GOOOOOOO TARHEELS!!!! 
hahaha
