Head coach Matt Painter and his Purdue Boilermakers are retooling this season. Despite the new lineup, Purdue is not skipping a beat. The Boilermakers are in the thick of the Big Ten Conference race. Most important of all, Purdue is holding its value with the College Basketball lines. On Friday night, the FOX feature game is Purdue hosting its ancient arch-rivals. The Indiana Hoosiers continue to tread water under Mike Woodson. Of major concern is the lack of value that Indiana offers gamblers. Woodson is on a hotter seat with his inability to break through.
