If Purdue is going to get a matchup with the saucy fellow that is Ronnie Johnson it will have to come in the second game of the Cancun Challenge. The pairings for the event were released earlier on Sunday and the Boilers drew Utah State in the semifinals:
Purdue will play Utah State and Auburn will face Texas Tech in the first round of the 2016 Cancun Challenge, sources told @CBSSports.

This prevents Purdue from facing at least one team from every major conference (Big East, SEC, ACC, Pac-12, Big 12).
