Iowa vs. Purdue spread

kenpom has Iowa -6 and sagarin has Iowa -1.5. They aren't usually that different, I would guess the Vegas line to be somewhere in between.
 
I don't know what the spread is. But I've been watching PU, as much as I could, since we beat them, and I think my original concerns with their team (their 3 post players) is actually going to be a factor on Sunday. Swanigan is playing much better now than he was then. He's consistently hitting the 3-ball and he's rebounding better. I am very concerned with this game. More concerned than I was a week ago.
 
Iowa was certainly not overly impressive last night, defensive breakdowns, more uncontested turnovers, bench not as solid, etc. But on the other hand Purdue struggled at home against OSU too. Was a two point deficit with about 5 minutes to play in the game. Sunday's game should be fairly close the whole way and if we can be our normal solid selves protecting the ball and not let their bigs dominate I think we should win something like 72-64.
 
I thought this thread was catchy
