Both teams could use the Quadrant 1 win to improve their respective resumes come Selection Sunday, with Purdue (14-4, 6-1) arguably in bigger need of the road victory with all of its losses coming away from home.

Braden Smith has averaged almost three steals over the past eight games, and the Boilermakers' turnover creation has spiked as well.

Following the Purdue game, the Huskies visit No. 13 Oregon on Jan. 21 to make it five straight games against ranked teams. The Boilermakers have won four of the five previous meetings with the Huskies. The most recent clash came when Purdue notched a 76-74 win over Washington in the second round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament.
