The Purdue Boilermakers (19-7) are set to clash with the Michigan State Spartans (20-5) in a pivotal Big Ten battle on Tuesday evening at Breslin Center, with tip-off slated for 7:00 pm ET.
Purdue is hoping to steer clear of a third consecutive loss. The Boilermakers recently put together a four-game win streak, highlighted by victories over Iowa and USC, but they’ve hit a rough patch, dropping their last two games. A narrow loss to Michigan was followed by a defensive letdown in a 94-84 home defeat against Wisconsin on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Michigan State remains in the thick of the Big Ten title hunt, boasting an 11-3 conference record — just one game out of first place. The Spartans, however, have lost some steam, falling in three of their last five outings, including a disappointing setback to UCLA. After a surprising loss to Indiana last week, Michigan State bounced back in style with a 79-65 road win over Illinois on Saturday.
