Here’s how to watch Sunday’s #1 Purdue Basketball vs. Michigan State
WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana — Purdue basketball No. 1 welcomes Michigan State to Mackey Arena on Sunday after facing the Spartans once on the road in the past two weeks. The game is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on CBS.
The Boilermakers won 64-63 at the Breslin Center, a game in which junior center Zach Edey posted a career-high 32 points and scored the game-winning goal with 2.2 seconds left.
“We know it’s going to be a tough game for us,” said Purdue coach Matt Painter. “These athletic guards can play for themselves and other people. And then their interchangeable pieces like Malik Hall and [Joey] Hauser to keep up with their size.
“I’m just trying to do a good job of getting out of rotations as much as possible and having a good rebound balance. I think that will be key for both teams.”
