About this episode

Purdue faces Colorado in a family rivalry game during the Indy Classic, capping their non-conference schedule.

Purdue hits the court for the fifth annual Indy Classic, taking on Colorado in a high-stakes showdown on Saturday, December 19th in Indianapolis — part of a doubleheader featuring Butler vs. Georgia Tech. This game caps Purdue’s non-conference schedule, which also includes matchups with Gonzaga, DePaul, Oklahoma, Iowa State, and Tennessee, plus an exhibition against Connecticut. Colorado, led by veteran coach Tad Boyle (16 seasons, 300+ wins), enters with a 17-16 record from last season and aims to prove themselves against a top-tier opponent. Adding drama: Purdue’s Daniel Jacobsen squares off against his younger brother Eric, now on Colorado’s roster — a family rivalry on the hardwood. The all-time series is tied 1-1, with Colorado’s last win dating back to 1988, making this Purdue’s chance to even the score.
