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."
