Arizona men’s basketball to face Purdue in Indianapolis, per report

Arizona hasn’t gotten an invite to join the Big Ten Conference, but that league’s teams don’t mind playing the Wildcats.

College basketball insider Jon Rothstein is reporting that Arizona will take on Purdue in a neutral-site game in Indianapolis. The game is tentatively set for Dec. 16 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers.

The Boilermakers would be the third Big Ten school on the UA’s 2023-24 schedule, joining a matchup with Michigan State in Palm Springs on Thanksgiving and at home against Wisconsin on Dec. 9. That’s in addition to visiting Duke on Dec.
