The college hoops excitement continues on Peacock tonight with three men’s match ups: Rutgers vs Purdue at 7 PM ET, Villanova vs Georgetown at 8 PM ET, and Nebraska vs Ohio State at 9 PM ET. See below for details on how to live stream each game, along with additional information on how you can keep up with all of the Big Ten college basketball action this season.
The Scarlet Knights and Boilermakers will meet tonight for the 24th all-time matchup between the two schools. Rutgers has won the last four meetings, most recently defeating Purdue 68-50 on January 9.
Rutgers is coming off a heartbreaking 84-82 loss to Michigan on Thursday night. The Scarlet Knights were up by 12 with less than 12 minutes left in the game, but were unable to hold on to the lead. Senior guard Nimari Burnett nailed a buzzer-beating three-pointer to give Michigan the win.
“It’s just frustrating when you play that hard and play that well and play that together, you want great things to happen for these guys,” said Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell after the loss. “To lose like that is unbelievable.”
Rutgers has not yet clinched a spot in the Big Ten tournament, but the team can secure one with either a win tonight or with losses from either USC on Wednesday or Iowa on Thursday.
The Boilermakers are coming off a 76-66 win against UCLA last Friday at home, snapping the team’s four-game losing streak. Junior forward Trey Kaufman-Renn led the way with 29 points, while junior guard Braden Smith added 23 points and 8 assists, setting the Boilermakers’ career assists record with 696. Smith is now just four assists shy of becoming the first player in NCAA history to have at least 1,250 points, 700 assists and 500 rebounds by the end of his junior season.
With sights still set on securing one of the top four spots for a double bye in the conference tournament, Purdue enters tonight’s matchup in a three-way tie for third place with Maryland and Wisconsin. However, tiebreakers for these teams have yet to be determined and won’t be calculated until the regular season concludes.
