What channel Purdue basketball vs. Michigan State on? Start time, TV, Zach Edey stats

Purdue basketball wants to clinch the Big Ten regular-season championship as Michigan State visits. Both teams' most recent loss is to Ohio State, which recently replaced its coach.

The No. 3 (USA TODAY) Boilermakers (25-3, 14-3) have bounced back since falling to the Buckeyes with wins over Rutgers and Michigan.

Purdue team leaders: Zach Edey (23.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.2 blocked shots); Lance Jones (13.0 points, 1.3 steals); Braden Smith (12.7 points, 41.6% 3-pointers, 5.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.8 steals); Fletcher Loyer (10.1 points, 40.4% 3-pointers). Coach Matt Painter is in his 19th season.

Michigan State (17-11, 9-8) has lost two in a row, to Iowa and OSU, the latter on a buzzer-beater. The Spartans, who have long been a dominant rebounding team, lost the board battle in both games and hold a narrow edge against their opponents for the season.

Michigan State team leaders: Tyson Walker (18.1 points, 37.0% 3s, 1.9 steals); Malik Hall (12.9 points, 5.4 rebounds); A.J. Hoggard (11.2 points, 5.0 assists, 1.4 steals); Jaden Akins (10.8 points, 38.2% 3s). Tom Izzo is in his 29th year as MSU coach.

This is the only scheduled meeting between these teams this season. Purdue has won three in a row seven of the past eight in the series, including twice last season. Zach Edey had a combined 70 points and 30 rebounds in last season's games.
