Purdue and Gonzaga will have to square off for a shot at the Elite Eight, with both sides looking unstoppable through the first two rounds. Our college basketball picks believe these offenses will stay hot come Friday.The No. 5 seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the No. 1 seed Purdue Boilermakers in the Sweet 16 on Friday night. The Boilermakers were also a No. 1 seed last year and were upset in the first round of thebut this season they've steamrolled their first two opponents.
The Zags went just 6-for-32 from beyond the arc and had an ugly 24.6% turnover rate in that previous meeting which is shocking since they are 23rd in the country in turnover rate for the season while Purdue is 338th in opponent TO rate .
