What to Know

The #4 Purdue Boilermakers haven't won a contest against the Michigan Wolverines since Jan. 25 of 2018, but they'll be looking to end the drought Saturday. Purdue and Michigan will face off in a Big Ten battle at 2:30 p.m. ET at Mackey Arena. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

The Boilermakers didn't have too much trouble with the Minnesota Golden Gophers on the road on Wednesday as they won 88-73. Purdue got their victory on the backs of several key players, and it was guard Sasha Stefanovic out in front picking up 15 points and seven assists.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Michigan beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers 85-79 on Tuesday. Michigan's center Hunter Dickinson did his thing and had 26 points along with eight rebounds.

Purdue is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Wisconsin Badgers Jan. 3 easily too and instead slipped up with a 74-69. In other words, don't count the Wolverines out just yet.
