A Big Ten men’s college basketball matchup will draw eyes this weekend as USC hosts No. 5 Purdue in sunny Los Angeles.
Unranked USC has a solid overall record at 14-3, but is sitting at .500 in conference play. The Trojans suffered two brutal back-to-back losses against Michigan and Michigan State to open up the new year, but luckily recovered with an overtime win against Minnesota and a comfortable victory over Maryland.
Meanwhile, No. 5 Purdue has returned to dominance this season, sitting atop the Big Ten early in conference play. The Boilermakers are riding the momentum of seven straight wins, an undefeated streak that was only interrupted with a loss to No. 2 Iowa State Dec. 6.
