One of the marquee games on Purdue’s upcoming basketball schedule, perhaps THE marquee game, is November 28th in an ACC/Big Ten Challenge rematch from last year with the Louisville Cardinals. The Cards ended Purdue’s 7-game winning streak int he event, but they were paired with Purdue again to make a nice home-and-home. It was expected to be a huge game for Purdue in the middle of a stretch where it could face three straight top 10 teams (Villanova and Arizona in the Bahamas, Louisville at home).
Of course, that was before the FBI raided Louisville for allegedly paying $100,000 to a recruit.
