More game times have been announced.
Though basketball season might seem like it’s really far away, it’s not actually. Purdue’s first exhibition game is October 26th. That means we are just about two months away from the tip-off of yet another highly anticipated season of Purdue basketball. Purdue of course is coming off one of their most successful seasons in program history and one in which the fans had an incredible time. I know it was a season I will never forget. From Hawaii to Detroit to Phoenix, it was a season of incredible achievements both individually and as a team.
The schedule for next season continues to come together. Additional pieces were added today with the tip-off time for the Rady Children’s Invitational announced.

Purdue will face their Final Four opponent NC State in the first game of the tournament on November 28th at 3:00 PM. For those keeping track at home, that is Thanksgiving Day. No longer will the NFL rule Thanksgiving Day. This year, it’s all about Purdue basketball. The game will be televised by FS1.
The outcome of that first game will then determine when Purdue plays next. If Purdue loses they will face the loser of either Utah or Ole Miss and play at 3:30 PM on Fox. If Purdue wins they will face the winner of Utah and Ole Miss in a 6:00 PM tip-off on Fox. Either way, should be a couple of pretty good games for our beloved Boilermakers.
