The Purdue Boilermakers play the University of Indianapolis in an exhibition game: Start time, where to watch.

The Naismith Basketball Memorial Hall of Fame has announced that Fletcher Loyer is one of 20 players named to the Julius Erving Award watch list, given to the nation’s

Series: Purdue leads 8-4 under Matt Painter but has dropped four in a row, including the 70-68 loss in Piscataway in December when the Boilermakers were ranked No. 1. The four-game losing streak is currently the longest against a Big Ten team.

With one of its best rosters ever, Purdue is expected to make a championship run this season. However, it's not "now or never" for the program.

Excitement for this team was already through the roof, but it managed to grow even further with Kentucky’s 78-65 win over preseason No. 1 Purdue. A driving force in that impressive win was the Cats’ trio of Bluegrass natives: Freshman center Malachi Moreno, freshman guard Jasper Johnson, and sophomore forward Trent Noah.
