Ohio State takes on Purdue at noon at Mackey Arena, where the sixth-ranked Boilermakers are 10-1 this season.
No. 6 Purdue has not dipped beneath a seventh-place ranking in the AP Top 25 in 2021-22, starting the season 17-3 with wins over three ranked opponents . Matt Painter and company have only lost one game at Mackey Arena, where they dropped only one game last season as well, and the 16th-ranked Buckeyes will face an uphill battle trying to become the second Big Ten team to do so this year.
Purdue’s only losses have come by five points or less. Rutgers scraped out a two-point win over the Boilermakers on Dec. 9, and both Wisconsin and Indiana pulled off similarly slim victories against Purdue earlier this month. Beyond those two losses, two other teams have been able to push the Boilermakers to overtime, but Purdue won both games.
