How does Purdue matchup versus NC State?

Even though Edey scored 40, Purdue beat Tennessee by just 6 points. That isn’t a good sign because NC State pulled off the upset against the Duke Blue Devils.

The Boilermakers are going to have to rely on more than just Edey. Braden Smith is going to have to step it up big time. Smith must attempt to keep pace with guards DJ Horne and Michael O’Connell.

Also, NC State has a seriously talented big in DJ Burns. The Wolfpack are a tough matchup for the 1-seed Boilermakers.

How does Purdue matchup versus Alabama?

Bama starts a four guard lineup much like Tennessee does. So if it comes down to Purdue versus Bama, the Boilermakers project to do a fantastic job. Dumping the ball into Edey, like what Purdue did versus the Vols, should work.

The Boilermakers may not blow out Bama. However, they will play well enough to win the National Championship. Edey will have a monster game.

How does Purdue matchup versus UConn?

Not well. Donovan Clingan can hang with Edey on almost every level. Guards wise, UConn’s are slightly better. More importantly, no team plays team defense the way the Huskies do.

If Purdue faces UConn, the game could be over by halftime. Purdue is a quality squad, but UConn’s defense is armor.

Final Analysis: Is Purdue worth a bet to win the National Championship?

It depends on the matchups. Purdue could bow out this Saturday versus NC State because the matchups favor the Wolfpack. If Purdue gets by the Wolfpack, then they will struggle against a UConn squad the is blowing teams out left and right.

At the odds, Purdue isn’t worth a play. The chances of Alabama upsetting UConn aren’t great and the Boilermakers don’t match up well with the Huskies.
