Purdue Player Prop Bets

Purdue (30-4) is led by star Zach Edey. He had 30 points and 21 rebounds against the Grambling Tigers Friday night and comes into Sunday's game against Utah State with a 26.5 scoring prop total.

"Tried to play as hard as I can, trying to send a message to the team: We're here, we're ready, we're good," Edey said. "Send a message to the country: We're good."

"I don't think nobody has seen anything like Zach Edey," Grambling guard Kintavious Dozier said. "That's kind of unreal. What they say he is on paper, he's exactly that."

James Madison Player Props

James Madison upset Wisconsin to advance and play Duke. The Blue Devils are a different kind of animal however.
