Louisville Cardinals at Purdue Boilermakers

Prior history in the event: Louisville is 2-1, Purdue is 9-7

History against each other: Purdue leads the series 9-6. Louisville won the last meeting 71-64 in 2016.

Two outstanding programs headline this matchup that could be one of the best in the challenge. Purdue loses star Caleb Swanigan but returns much of a roster that could sit in the preseason top-25. Louisville is always near the top of the ACC and next year will likely be no different.
