Let’s get ready for Rady!
After getting a little bit of a layoff between games, Purdue men’s basketball is back today as they take on an opponent they should know well. The Wolfpack of NC State will be Purdue’s opponent today out in San Diego as part of the Rady Children’s Hospital Invitational. Purdue and NC State faced off last season in the Final Four which saw Purdue victorious and head to the National Championship game.
The two teams playing today will obviously look quite a bit different than the two teams that faced off last season given graduations and other departures. Purdue is the early favorite in this one. My guess is that Braden Smith will look to score a bit more today after being blanked in the most recent game against Marshall. That’s something that very few teams have been able to do.
Who: #13 Purdue (5-1) vs. North Carolina State (5-0)
When: 3 p.m. ET
Where: San Diego, California – LionTree Arena (Capacity 4,000)
TV: FS1 (Cory Provus, Robbie Hummel)
Radio: Purdue Global Radio Network (Rob Blackman, Bobby Riddell)
Given that this one starts at 3:00 PM for those of us in the east, that means you’re either finished with your Thanksgiving meal and have cleaned the kitchen, or you’re currently cooking and have some downtime while everything cooks. Either way, I hope you have a chance to watch this one and see the Boilermakers grab another victory.
