MINNEAPOLIS — Following a last-minute survival of Michigan State Friday afternoon, Top-seeded Purdue is back at Saturday in its quest to repeat as Big Ten Tournament champions.
The fifth-seeded Wisconsin Badgers stand in the way. It’s the second time in the last three games the rivals will meet. Tipoff at the Target Center is scheduled for 1 p.m. The winner advances to Sunday’s Big Ten Tournament championship game against either Illinois or Nebraska.
Purdue won both previous meetings, including 75-69 on Feb. 4 and 78-70 last Sunday on senior day when the Boilers capped a perfect record at Mackey Arena.
