Michigan State returns to Mackey arena today just after noon. This will be the second meeting between these teams after Purdue won the first one in East Lansing. Big matchup for Purdue and you can tell that’s true because of special jerseys and also it’s a t-shirt game. While some (myself included) might question the wisdom of a white t-shirt against a team with a chant that includes GO WHITE I’ll hope for the best.
#1 Purdue (20-1, 9-1 Big 10) vs. Michigan State (14-7, 6-4 Big 10)
