WHO: #2 Purdue Boilermakers (16-2, 5-2 Big Ten)
WHEN: 1:00 PM CT (Saturday, January 20, 2024)
WHERE: Carver-Hawkeye Arena (Iowa City, IA)
TV: FS1
RADIO: Hawkeye Radio Network (Gary Dolphin, Bob Hansen)

LINE: Purdue -6.5
KENPOM SPREAD: Purdue -7 (Purdue 88, Iowa 81; Purdue 74% chance of winning)
The last time #2 Purdue and Iowa squared off on the basketball court, the Boilermakers were fresh off a 92-88 overtime loss to Northwestern. The game was in West Lafayette, a recent house of horrors for Iowa basketball. The result was predictable: Purdue jumped out to a big lead and pounded Iowa for 40 minutes before wrapping up an 87-68 victory.
That Iowa victory kicked off a seven-game winning streak for Purdue, before they suffered another road upset 11 days ago, at Nebraska. The Cornhuskers were red hot from outside and buried the Boilermakers under 61% shooting from deep.
Purdue bounced back from that loss with two more wins, including an 87-66 road throttling of in-state rival Indiana on Tuesday. Purdue remains, by any measure, a Big Ten title favorite and one of the very best teams in the country this season.
