Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Purdue Boilermakers: TV, stream, broadcast info for Monday
The Iowa Hawkeyes return to the court tonight and will face their toughest test of the season thus far.
The Hawkeyes head to West Lafayette, Ind., to take on the reigning Big Ten regular season and tournament champions in Purdue from inside Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers (7-1) enter after suffering their first loss of the season, though.
Northwestern (6-1) shocked Purdue in Evanston, Ill., 92-88, in overtime to hand the Boilermakers a shocking defeat. Wildcats graduate guard Boo Buie led the way with 31 points and nine assists, while senior guard Ty Berry and graduate guard Ryan Langborg added 21 and 20 points, respectively. That trio connected on 9-of-15 3-pointers against Purdue in the upset win.
Last season’s National Player of the Year was his typical dominant self for the Boilermakers against the Wildcats. Senior center Zach Eden poured in 35 points to lead Purdue, but the Boilermakers shot just 26.3% from beyond the arc and turned the basketball over 17 times.
Iowa (5-2) will look to duplicate a similar winning formula at Purdue tonight. The Hawkeyes come into tonight following consecutive wins over Seton Hall and North Florida.
Five Hawkeyes finished with double-figure scoring against the North Florida Ospreys, led by graduate forward Ben Krikke and senior guard Tony Perkins’ 21 points.
As Iowa looks to spring the upset and hand the Boilermakers surprising back-to-back losses, here’s how Hawkeye fans can watch, stream and listen to tonight’s game. Plus, a look at the game notes.
