Brendan Quinn's prediction: UConn
In thinking about how Purdue can pull this off, I’m stuck with the image of Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer and Lance Jones trying to operate offensively against the mare’s nest of Tristen Newton, Cam Spencer and Stephon Castle — their size, their speed, their manic toughness. It might be the slightest edge, but it’s an edge, and I can’t find one in favor of the Boilers to offset the gap. UConn wins a close one. Donovan Clingan is MOP.UConn 85, Purdue 80
