Purdue's first in-state opponent is also the first return non-conference opponent from 2014-15.
After knocking off New Mexico for Purdue's fourth Top 50 RPI win in the first eight games the Boilers now have a relatively easy stretch as they head into first semester finals. On paper, Purdue should not be tested in the next three games. It is extremely likely that Purdue will be in the top 10 when the rankings come out tomorrow morning. A loss in any of the next three games would pretty much be the equivalent of losing to Gardner-Webb last season (and no, I will not badmouth North Florida when they at least made the NCAA Tournament).
