The Purdue Boilermakers will play their second game of the season looking to improve to 2-0 against the Morehead State Eagles. Purdue won their first game of the season 98-43 against Samford at home while the Eagles took on the Alabama Crimson Tide in their first game and lost 107-73. Morehead State won the Ohio Valley Conference last season by three games and is picked to finish in first place this season. This the second game in which Purdue will face an opponent who won their conference regular season title in the 2022-2023 season.
The Boilers will look to leverage their advantages over a team that is currently ranked 221st in the Kenpom rankings that places them currently as the second lowest ranked team in that system for the season (Jacksonville is 252nd).
