Yale vs Purdue Picks & Betting Tips


Yale are tipped to cover as an underdog in the first round of March Madness.

Purdue are favorites to win, but they have a weakness that the Bulldogs can exploit to keep it closer than the bookies expect.

The Boilermakers do not defend the perimeter well and Yale have shooters who can take advantage.

  • Purdue are 0-10-0 ATS in their last 10 games
  • Purdue are 4-11-0 ATS in their last 15 games as a double digit betting favorite
  • Yale are 7-2-0 ATS in their last 9 games

Head To Head


  • Purdue lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Purdue won 76-66 when the teams last met in 1962

Yale Form


Yale head into March Madness in decent form, having won 11 of their last 13 games.

Their form in the final few weeks of the regular season was mixed as they went 2-2 in their final four games.

They did wrap it up with a 74-65 win over Brown and built on it with a 67-61 win over Pennsylvania in their opening game of the Ivy League conference tournament.

The Bulldogs then followed that up by beating the team who finished one game clear of them in the regular season.

Yale edged Princeton 66-64 in the conference tournament final, avenging a February loss to the Tigers. 

Purdue Form


Purdue missed out on top spot in the Big Ten Conference as they lost two of their last three regular season games.

They fell to Michigan State and Wisconsin on the road, meaning a 69-67 win over Indiana did nothing more than seal a third-place finish.

The Boilermakers made it back-to-back wins when they beat Penn State 69-61 in their first outing in the conference championship tournament.

They then followed that up with a semi-final 75-70 win over Michigan State to avenge the recent defeat.

Purdue came up short in the final though, losing 75-66 to an Iowa team they beat twice during the regular season.
