- DJ Burns and Mohamed Diarra have had a physical advantage over everyone they have played in this tournament, but that will change against Zach Edey of Purdue.
- Purdue is the best three-point shooting team in the nation and will have the edge from the perimeter as well.
The NC State Wolfpack will play against the Purdue Boilermakers in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament on April 6, 2024, at 6:09 pm ET. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Boilermakers are 9.0 point favorites with early betting action heavily favoring them. The total for the game sits at 146. In this game, the key will be whether or not NC State can figure out a way to match the physicality of Purdue in the paint. DJ Burns has become the most beloved figure of this tournament, using his size and his ability to pass from the post to make things happen for NC State. But against Zach Edey, the two-time national player of the year, Burns may not look anywhere near as good as he has over the first two weekends of this tournament. There is also the fact that Purdue holds the advantage from the perimeter going into this contest. Purdue was the top three-point shooting team in the country this year, which has been an area NC State has had an edge in against all of their opponents in this tournament so far. Unless the Wolfpack can find a way to make the Boilermaker guards uncomfortable from the perimeter, it could be a long night for the Wolfpack, as they are at a disadvantage both inside and out in this one. Our best bet for this game is for the Boilermakers to cover the spread as a favorite. While NC State's run to the Final Four has been nothing short of remarkable, it should end here, as we appear to be set for a collision course between Purdue and UConn, who plays Alabama in the second game of Final Four Saturday.
