GAME OF THE MONTH (CBB) - MIKE'S TOP RATED 10* MAJOR WAGER
(NCAAB) Louisville vs. Purdue,
Point Spread: -7.00 | -106.00 Purdue (Home)
Result: Win
The Purdue Boilermakers had lost back-to-back games (as rather large favorites) in the Battle 4 Atlantis before blowing away Arizona their last time out while shooting 57 percent from the floor and making 11-of-22 attempts from beyond the arc. The 89-64 triumph marked their second-largest margin of victory against a ranked foe in school history. "It's good that they were resilient and they bounced back and they won a game," Purdue coach Matt Painter said.

The Boilermakers are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and I think they'll come out focused here when hosting the Louisville Cardinals Tuesday night.

Louisville is a perfect 4-0 on the season, but this will be the Cardinals' first real test of the season after beating up on weak, small-conference opponents. We can note that they're 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and 1-7 ATS in their last eight games overall. The Cardinals lost junior Ray Spalding to an ankle injury in the second half of Friday's win over St. Francis (Pa.) and he's questionable for tonight's contest.

Cardinals are 1-4 ATS in their last five non-conference games. Boilermakers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 non-conference games.

My CBB Game of the Month is a 10* play on Purdue Boilermakers.
