I get tired of writing, "well this is another close one", but here we go again.  I wonder how the lack of a crowd will impact the game.  I know the home crowd for IU-Purdue games can get crazy and certainly impact the outcome.  We hate each other.  Do the players feel the same?  Don't know.  Hope so.  

This looks like a close game and frankly IU doesn't do well in close games.  We just don't finish well.  If we did we would have 4 or 5 more wins.  None of our guards can take anyone consistently off the bounce at crunch time, Franklin might but he isn't playing.  Phinisee won't and Durham just doesn't have the physical skills.  Don't remember Jackson-Davis ever hitting a shot of free throw with the game on the line in the final seconds.  Down the stretch recently we have depended on Hunter and Leal to make the plays.  Can we win a close game against Purdue?

Vegas has the O/U at 130.5 and IU a 4 point favorite.  That makes the implied 67-63.  That just feel right to me.  I'll take the margin, despite our troubles finishing but I think the o/u  is low.  My Crystal Ball says 75-70 IU
