Northwestern at Purdue: GameThread & How to Watch

ROLL IT!!

Purdue officially begins its defense of its Big Ten title today, marking the drive for a record 25th Big Ten championship. It is Northwestern’s first visit to Mackey Arena in over two years thanks to the unbalanced Big Ten schedule. After Wednesday night’s cathartic victory over Virginia it is time to take care of business against a team that lost to... Merrimack. If Purdue wants to lose its goodwill from Wednesday, dropping this game is a good way to do it.
