A full slate of college basketball means plenty of action to highlight. Here is a betting recap from across the country on Sunday. ## Purdue upends Michigan State Down goes Sparty, in embarrassing fashion. No. 6 Michigan State (18-3 SU, 16-5 ATS) fell behind by 13 points early at Purdue (14-6 SU, 12-8 ATS) and trailed by 23 in the second half before coming within four late in the game. The Spartans — who opened as 2.5-point favorites but were bet against to +1.5 by tip-off — couldn't get any closer than that, as Carsen Edwards converted three free throws after getting hacked from deep, and Nojel Eastern scored the next eight in a row for the Boilermakers, whose [73-63 win](https://www.hammerandrails.com/2019/1/27/18199521/purdue-73-michigan-state-63-final-score-recap) kept their undefeated home record intact. Michigan State came into the game having won 13 straight and nine straight ATS, including a blowout win over Purdue in Lansing on Jan. 8. The Spartans have five days off before hosting Indiana next Saturday. The Hoosiers have lost six straight and four against the spread. ## Cincinnati rallies for narrow road win and cover It wasn't looking good for the Bearcats early, as Cincinnati (18-3 SU, 12-10 ATS) faced a 14-point deficit early in the second half, laying 3.5 points at Temple (15-5 SU, 8-11-2 ATS). But Mick Cronin's crew came alive in the second half, with an 11-2 run to come within two and a subsequent 8-2 run to complete the [72-68 win](https://www.downthedrive.com/2019/1/27/18199603/bearcats-outlast-temple-72-68) and cover, its sixth consecutive win SU and third against the number. Those who took the 'Cats -3.5 were still sweating when Jarron Cumberland, who finished with a game-high 25 points, missed the first free throw up three with 1.7 seconds left. But he hit the second to put Bearcat backers at ease. The resilient comeback benefited OVER bettors, too, as the 60 points at halftime didn't inspire confidence in getting to 137.5. There were 126 points on the board with 1:37 left until a flurry of free throws helped get the game OVER the total. ## DePaul keeps it close, covers late DePaul (11-8 SU, 11-9 ATS) never wrestled control away from Providence (13-7 SU, 9-12 ATS) in Sunday's [70-67 road loss](https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-spt-depaul-providence-20190127-story.html), trailing by 13 late in the first half and eight in the second. Yet the Blue Demons stormed back in the final minutes for underdog bettors' sake, as seven free throws between Max Strus and Devin Gage helped DePaul pull within a bucket in the closing seconds and cover the 5-point spread. It was too little, too late for those with the OVER, though, as a 1:34 scoreless stretch in the final two minutes doomed those looking for 144.5. __$10,000 up for grabs__: [Free-to-enter Super Bowl props contest](https://betchicago.chalkline.com/games/10k-big-game-blitz)
