Unfortunately for the Boilermakers, their team is much stronger with injured star Robbie Hummel. <\/p>\n<p>The junior forward \u2013 who had an outstanding freshman campaign a couple seasons ago \u2013 brought 15.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game to the table in this regular season. Without Hummel, Purdue is simply not as confident scoring the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Purdue head coach Matt Painter and fans in West Lafayette have leaned on other players, such as guard E\u2019Twaun Moore and \u2013 most notable lately \u2013 forward JaJuan Johnson, to pick up the slack. The Boilers finished a stubborn Siena team in the first round 72-64, but without the scoring prowess of Hummel, Purdue must ensure they play tight D and limit mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>            Texas A&#038;M has been a strong team of late. This is the third straight season the Aggies have advanced to the second round of the tournament; they should be confident in their ability to press on versus Purdue. Five of A&#038;M\u2019s top players average at least nine points a game. The most dangerous offensive weapon is senior guard Donald Sloan, who dumps in a cool 18.0 PPG. <\/p>\n<p>The Aggies had no problems with Utah State in their tournament opener; a stand-out performance from freshman Khris Middleton paced the way to a 16-point win. <\/p>\n<p>Middleton has stepped up huge since veteran guard Derrick Roland broke his leg in December.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250a-sportsbook.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A one-two punch of Sloan and Middleton will be plenty for Purdue to handle defensively, and unless a player like JaJuan Johnson erupts for a career-best performance, the Boilermakers\u2019 tournament push might be at the end of the line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Texas A&#038;M is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games<br \/>\nAggies are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall<br \/>\nAggies are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite<br \/>\nAggies are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games<br \/>\nAggies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5<br \/>\nAggies are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a SU win<br \/>\nBoilermakers are 5-13-1 ATS in their last 19 games following a ATS win<br \/>\nBoilermakers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600<br \/>\nBoilermakers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning SU record<br \/>\nBoilermakers are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall<br \/>\nBoilermakers are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU win<br \/>\nPurdue is 14-2 SU in its last 16 games <\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Boilermakers vs. Aggies Free Tournament Pick<\/strong>: Purdue is \u2018deep-in-the-tournament\u2019 strong when fully healthy, but have looked much shakier without one of its best players.
