(updated with new video, information)

Purdue basketball returns from a successful west coast trip on a seven-game winning streak as it hosts Ohio State Tuesday, January 21, 2025.

The No. 12 Boilermakers (15-4, 7-1 Big Ten) came into a rocky matchup with Oregon over the weekend, but Trey Kaufman-Renn (23 points, including 9-of-9 free throw shooting, 11 rebounds) and Braden Smith (15 points, 7 assists, 4 steals) saw them through . Purdue made 5-of-25 3-pointers combined vs. Washington and Oregon, and CJ Cox didn’t score. Maybe watching Paint Crew will give a boost.

It’s hard to imagine a more unlucky team than that Buckeyes (10-8, 2-5), who have lost their last three games by one a total of 5 points.

  • Oregon, 73-71: Buckeyes lead by 5 points with 2:30 left before Ducks rally.
  • Wisconsin, 70-68: OSU fights back from a 17-point halftime deficit, but can’t quite catch the Badgers.
  • Indiana, 77-76, OT: OSU rallies from 10 points down late in regulation to extend the game, but Bruce Thornton‘s 3-pointer at the end of overtime expires.

Devin RoyalOSU’s second-leading scorer and leading rebounder did not play against Indiana with a wrist injury. He is available, according to Big Ten Availability Report.

Insider: Purdue wins at Oregon like it can win the Big Ten

Purdue basketball picks, prediction

Nathan Baird, IndyStar: Purdue 74-69

Getting out of the way should allow the Boilermakers to get their legs back — and regain their shooting touch.

Sam KingJournal & Courier: Purdue 84-70

While the defense traveled to the Pacific Northwest, Purdue’s hot shooting inside Mackey Arena did not. In a friendlier environment, expect more shots to fall to bundle up with the Boilermakers’ resurgent defense.
