Purdue Boilermakers eye a sixth straight Big Ten win as they face the struggling Iowa Hawkeyes—can Braden Smith’s historic playmaking and Oscar Cluff’s rebounding edge prove unstoppable at Mackey Arena? With Iowa reliant on Bennett Stirtz to ignite their offense, will the Hawkeyes find a way to upset the Boilermakers and shift their season’s trajectory?

Trent Condon and Nick Arvin break down key matchups, from Purdue’s elite offensive firepower and defensive scheme to Iowa’s quest for secondary scoring and resilience under Ben McCollum. Critical topics include Cam Manwa’s health, Purdue’s strategy to neutralize Bennett Stirtz, and the home-court advantage with the Purdue student section back in full force. Predictions, X-factors, and insider tactics make this a must-listen for Big Ten basketball fans. Will Purdue solidify their contender status, or is an Iowa upset brewing?
