This is the fourth opportunity for Purdue to complete a season sweep of one of its 7 dual-play opponents. The Boilers are 1-2 in such games, sweeping Ohio State (which looks really, REALLY good right now), but falling by four total points to Maryland and Minnesota on the road. The good news is we already have the road side of this one secured.
