Two storied men's basketball programs will go head-to-head for a heated season opener — get ready for Purdue vs. Gonzaga.
Purdue has undergone a roster overhaul this season, with head coach Matt Painter navigating the departure of program star Braden Smith. The Boilermakers went 2-1 in exhibition matchups to start their campaign, defeating Ball State and Purdue Fort Wayne, but falling to UConn drastically.
Gonzaga heads into this matchup ranked No. 15 in early polls. Now a part of the revitalized Pac-12 conference, the Bulldogs will be facing some tougher competition throughout the season. With 11 new transfer additions, Mark Few is combining fresh talent with standout returners like Braden Huff and Davis Fogle.
