Purdue is riding high after an impressive run, clinching the Big Ten Tournament Title with four straight victories. Now, they're setting their sights on Queens University this Friday in St.
Louis. The Boilermakers, proudly holding a 2-seed spot, are gearing up to face the Royals.
Queens, stepping up to Division I in 2023, secured their NCAA Tournament debut by winning the A-Sun tournament, taking down #2 Austin Peay and top-seeded Central Arkansas along the way.
As a 2-15 matchup, Purdue is understandably a strong favorite against Queens. The odds from FanDuel place Purdue as a 22.5-point favorite, highlighting the challenge ahead for the Royals.
On another exciting note, Purdue's Braden Smith is on the brink of history. He needs just one more assist to tie the NCAA record of 1,076, set by former Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley.
With his second assist, Smith will make history, adding another layer of excitement to the game.
Purdue looks poised to make a strong statement in the round of 64, with fans eagerly anticipating the action. Keep an eye on FanDuel for all the latest March Madness odds, and get ready to cheer on the Boilermakers. Boiler Up!
