Purdue’s offense is clicking, scoring 79 or more points in four of its last six games, including 104 against Nebraska two games ago. Smith’s poise at point guard allows the offense to travel well, and the team should find openings behind the arc against a Ducks defense that ranks 140th in 3-point defense vs. the average opponent (per Haslametrics).

Oregon-Purdue will be on national television on NBC. Play-by-play announcer Terry Gannon will be on the call with analyst Stephen Bardo and sideline reporter Kira Dixon. The Duck-Boilermaker game from Matthew Knight Arena can be seen via live stream on the Peacock streaming service.
