Big Ten Showdown; No. 7 Purdue vs. No. 16 Wisconsin
No. 7 Purdue and No. 16 Wisconsin are set to clash in a pivotal Big Ten showdown on Saturday, February 15, at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana. The game, scheduled for 1 p.m. ET, will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. Both teams enter the matchup with strong records and high stakes, as the outcome could significantly impact the race for the Big Ten regular-season title.
Purdue (19-6, 11-3 Big Ten) is coming off a narrow 75-73 loss to Michigan, which snapped an 11-2 run over their last 13 games. Despite the setback, the Boilermakers remain a formidable force, led by standout guard Braden Smith, who has been instrumental in their success this season. Purdue is just half a game behind Michigan in the conference standings and will look to rebound in front of their home crowd.
Wisconsin (19-5, 9-4 Big Ten) has won three straight games, including a 74-63 victory over Iowa, fueled by 22 points from star guard John Tonje. The Badgers have overcome recent road struggles and are now within striking distance of the conference lead. A win over Purdue would bolster their chances of securing the top spot in the Big Ten.
The matchup marks the only scheduled meeting between the two teams this season, adding to the intensity of the contest. Purdue holds a slight edge as the favorite, with odds favoring them by 5.5 points. However, Wisconsin’s recent form and strong shooting could make this a tightly contested game. Both teams boast efficient offenses, with Wisconsin’s fast tempo and Purdue’s three-point shooting likely to play key roles.
The game is expected to be a high-scoring affair, with the over/under set at 149.5 points. Historically, the over has hit in 8 of the last 10 meetings between these teams. Fans can anticipate a thrilling battle as two of the Big Ten’s top programs vie for conference supremacy.
