No. 18 Texas A&M (8-2) will face a significant test this Saturday as they meet No. 11 Purdue (8-2, 1-1 Big Ten) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Both teams enter the matchup with identical 8-2 records, setting the stage for an intense top-25 battle. The Aggies are riding high on a four-game winning streak, highlighted by a gritty win over then-No. 21 Creighton.
On the other side, Purdue, last year’s national championship runner-up, remains a formidable force despite key roster changes. One major shift for the Boilermakers is the absence of Zach Edey, the towering 7’4″ Canadian center who was a dominant presence last season.
After posting an impressive 983 points, 474 rebounds, and 84 blocks during his senior campaign, Edey was selected in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Memphis Grizzlies. While his departure left big shoes to fill, Purdue has managed to maintain its competitive edge.
Key to Purdue’s continued success is Fletcher Loyer. The returning point guard has stepped into a leadership role, averaging 13.7 points per game this season. Although his shooting percentage has dipped to 32.6%, Loyer remains a critical playmaker, ensuring Purdue stays balanced on offense.
