Purdue basketball predictions vs. UCLA tonight, Jan. 20
Nathan Baird, IndyStar: Purdue 76-73
“A danger zone game for the Boilermakers, even before you consider Braden Smith’s ailing knee. A return to form from Trey Kaufman-Renn would be well-timed.”
Sam King, Journal & Courier: Purdue 79-72
“A year ago, Purdue survived the first game upset attempt on its west coast trip at Washington then played much better at Oregon three days later. The Boilermakers are fortunate to already have one win on this trip to Los Angeles. Maybe a few more days in the sun will allow Purdue to recalibrate.”
