Purdue won the Big Ten by three games last season, despite three road losses. Yet it also went to Champaign and beat its closest competitor — the Illini — in the penultimate game of the regular season.

Oregon-Purdue will be on national television on NBC. Play-by-play announcer Terry Gannon will be on the call with analyst Stephen Bardo and sideline reporter Kira Dixon. The Duck-Boilermaker game from Matthew Knight Arena can be seen via live stream on the Peacock streaming service.

Both teams could use the Quadrant 1 win to improve their respective resumes come Selection Sunday, with Purdue (14-4, 6-1) arguably in bigger need of the road victory with all of its losses coming away from home.
