00:00The team that everybody believes is the most likely to be upset on the floor line

00:04that would be Purdue against High Point. Two very elite offenses, neither team all that efficient on

00:10the defensive side of the floor. This line opened at nine and a half points, DRS, in favor of the

00:14Boilers. It's now just a seven and a half point spread in favor of Purdue. Yeah, it's another one

00:20of those games that you take a look at where these, understand this, like, you know, in the whole

00:24concoction of the tournament, dating back 20 years, it used to be the mid-majors and the lower

00:28level teams that you're worried about because those teams had fourth and fifth year seniors

00:32that all played together for five years and could sort of sneak up on you. It's no longer the case,

00:36like, the amount of transfers that you come in and out, like, you find really good talent that you

00:40can bring into your program even just for one year and it helps you. And Purdue, one of those teams

00:50tournament, and not playing like that piece of paper as they should at this point. So I think

00:54people take a look at Purdue and still have that grain of salt, like, yeah, we've seen them make

00:59runs, but we've also seen them go out to teams like this in the tournament in the past.
