It’s finally game day at Mackey.
Valpo enters at 1-0, Purdue at 0-1, and KenPom gives the Beacons just a 6% chance. Nobody is pretending this will be easy, but early November against a younger Purdue roster makes this a fascinating opportunity to see exactly where this Valpo team stands.
What has to happen for the Beacons to hang around and make Purdue sweat?
My full Valpo-Purdue preview: Game Preview: Beacons Visit Mackey Seeking First Win Over Purdue Since 1965
Here is a preview done by Purdue supporters. A lot of talk on Valpo and some of our guys.
Looks like I’ll get the game here in Texas on Hulu.
Purdue by 34. Going to be a long night.
just pulling into campus...brought 2 of my alumni buddies who also live in Indy...love this early start too! Go Crusaders!
Purdue 76
Valpo 66
My hope is that we stay close, but Purdue is too tough in the final five minutes. We need a good game on the boards and shooting the 3’s.
Looks like Kobe Walker is out for tonight’s game
