Every few years, we will see a No. 15 seed upset a No. 2. It is something that happens with enough regularity to give pause to anyone who fills out a bracket. However, CS Fullerton may not be cut from the right cloth to upset Purdue. The Titans are 0-24 in their last 24 games as double-digit underdogs – including 0-2 SU this season with those losses coming by 42 and 19 respectively.
- Purdue is 10-1 ATS in its last 11 games as a favorite of 21.0 or more.
- CS Fullerton is 8-2 SU and ATS in its last 10 games.
- Purdue is 19-4 SU in its last 23 games after a loss.
CS Fullerton is at its best when playing physical basketball and getting under the skin of opponents. The Titans don’t excel at much but they are adept at getting to the charity stripe, ranking 12th in the nation in free throws made and 16th in free throws attempted. This is largely thanks to Kyle Allman, whose driving ability and length make him a matchup nightmare for other guards.
That doesn’t exactly spell great things for CS Fullerton, as Purdue is 19th in the country in personal fouls per game and boasts plenty of size in the backcourt. The Boilermakers are one of the best offensive teams in the country, with a 58.1 effective field-goal percentage. On top of that, leading scorer Carsen Edwards is playing his best basketball of the season, averaging 24.6 points in Purdue’s last seven.
