Who’s Playing
Marquette @ Purdue
Current Records: Marquette 2-0; Purdue 2-0
What to Know
The Purdue Boilermakers’ homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Marquette Golden Eagles at 8:30 p.m. ET Nov. 15 at Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers will be seeking to avenge the 65-55 loss they suffered the last time these two teams played Nov. 13 of 2019.
Purdue didn’t have too much trouble with the Austin Peay Governors at home this past Friday as they won 63-44. Center Zach Edey took over for Purdue, finishing with 30 points (a whopping 48% of their total) along with 11 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Marquette took their matchup against the Central Michigan Chippewas last week by a conclusive 97-73 score. It should come as no surprise that the experts had more or less unanimously put their money on Marquette. They got double-digit scores from five players: forward David Joplin (23), forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper (13), guard Chase Ross (11), forward Ben Gold (11), and forward Oso Ighodaro (10). David Joplin’s performance made up for a slower game against the Radford Highlanders last Monday.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 2-0. This past Friday Purdue relied heavily on Edey, who posted a double-double on 30 points and 11 boards. It will be up to Marquette’s defense to limit his damage Tuesday.
