The last time No. 15 Marquette men’s basketball (4-0) beat No. 6 Purdue (4-0) was in 2019 at Fiserv Forum.

Five years later, both teams are back in that very same building, looking for one team to break the others’ undefeated record.

Last year, they faced off at the Maui Invitational where Marquette came up short 75-78 in the championship game. Two years ago, MU fell to the Boilermakers 70-75 when two squads faced off in West Lafayette, IN in a game that was part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games.
