Purdue Boilermakers (0-2) will face the Illinois State Redbirds (1-1) in their third game of the season. The matchup comes after Purdue's exhibition loss to the Connecticut Huskies on October 27, 2026, where guard Antione West Jr. was defended by UConn's Colben Landrew at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford.
The Boilermakers are looking for their first win of the season, while Illinois State enters with a .500 record.
