Get ready, Big Ten basketball is bringing a top-ranked matchup to the court Thursday, with No. 8 Purdue hosting No. 13 Michigan State.
Purdue (22-5) has regained ground in the rankings since a three-game losing streak in late January. The Boilermakers maintained a close matchup against No. 1 Michigan last week, but ultimately fell 90-81. The squad recovered with a dominant win over cross-state rivals Indiana on Friday.
Michigan State, meanwhile, will be entering a weekend of matchups in Indiana on the back of two solid wins over Ohio State and UCLA. With a 22-5 record, the Spartans have had some impressive wins over Illinois and North Carolina this season, but will still be underdogs in West Lafayette.
