Purdue’s Early Schedule Sets Tone

About this episode

Purdue's basketball season is intensifying with a challenging early schedule and key matchups ahead.

Purdue’s basketball season is heating up fast—dropping early non-conference games with a mix of mid-majors, high-majors, and a big showdown with Gonzaga in Vegas on November 2nd. They’ll lock in a home stretch at Mackey Arena before hitting the road only once (Iowa State on Dec. 5), with the real test coming in late November and December: seven straight tough games against power conference foes, setting them up for conference play. Coach Painter’s got his hands full—but this team’s ready to ball. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
