The Oregon Ducks will seek to end an eight-game losing streak as they visit the Purdue Boilermakers this afternoon.
Both teams play a deliberate style of basketball, and those tendencies are pushing me toward the Under in my Oregon vs. Purdue predictions.
Read on to see all my thoughts and college basketball picks for this Big Ten matchup on Saturday, February 7.
Oregon vs Purdue prediction
Oregon vs Purdue best bet: Under 143.5 (-110)
The Oregon Ducks and Purdue Boilermakers have at least one thing in common: they both rank among the slower-paced teams in college basketball, limiting possessions and settling into their halfcourt offenses.
The Ducks rank 282nd in the nation in adjusted tempo, while the Boilermakers are 304th, per KenPom. Purdue is efficient, shooting 51.2% from the field, while holding opponents to just 69 points per game.
The Boilermakers should find plenty of defensive success against the Ducks, who are averaging only 72 PPG on the year, ranking 248th in the nation in scoring. That number looks even worse now that Oregon is into Big Ten play, where it has been held below 60 points in four of its last six games, and has only reached 70 points once in its previous seven.
The Purdue defense should suffocate the Ducks, and while the Boilermakers can score, they have only put up 80-plus points twice in their last six, a number that isn’t likely to improve in a slowly-played game.

Oregon vs Purdue same-game parlay
It’s never easy to combine the Under with a favorite giving a boatload of points, but this is one of the rare times where that’s the clear play, as Purdue should outclass the Ducks, who have lost eight straight and covered only once in those games.
I’ll also take Braden Smith to go Over 15.5 points, as he’s Purdue's most consistent scorer and has hit that total in six of his last eight.
