What to Know

The #1 Purdue Boilermakers' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Florida A&M Rattlers at 5 p.m. ET Dec. 29 at Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers are out to keep their six-game home win streak alive.

Purdue entered their contest last week as the heavy favorite, and they fully lived up to expectations. Everything went their way against the New Orleans Privateers as they made off with a 74-53 win. Purdue's forward Trey Kaufman-Renn was one of the most active players for the squad, picking up 24 points. Kaufman-Renn's performance made up for a slower matchup against the Davidson Wildcats two weeks ago. Kaufman-Renn's points were the most he has had all season.

Meanwhile, Florida A&M was expected to have a tough go of it last Wednesday, and, well, they did. They got maybe a little too into the holiday spirit, gifting the Kentucky Wildcats an easy 88-68 victory. One thing holding the Rattlers back was the mediocre play of guard Jordan Tillmon, who did not have his best game: he played for 36 minutes with and five turnovers.

This next game looks promising for Purdue, who are favored by a full 36 points. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past six games.

Purdue is now a perfect 12-0 while Florida A&M sits at 2-8. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Boilermakers are stumbling into the contest with the 349th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 10.4 on average. The Rattlers have experienced some struggles of their own as they are 357th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 17.3 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
