With just a handful of games remaining in the regular season, Northwestern (17-9, 5-8 Big Ten) is still looking to garner some quality wins, and the Wildcats have an opportunity to do just that Tuesday night in a matchup against the Purdue Boilermakers (20-6, 8-5) in West Lafayette.
Matt Painter's group has been solid this season overall, boasting a 12-1 non-conference record that included wins over Florida and at Pittsburgh, while the only loss was to Butler. That consistency didn't quite carry over to the conference season; Purdue has lost to Illinois and Michigan — its only losses to unranked opponents this year.
