Northwestern (8-20, 2-15 B1G) faces Purdue (12-16, 2-12 B1G) in the final game of its disappointing 2025-26 season — and the final game of Northwestern head coach Joe McKeown’s 40-year career. The ‘Cats were officially eliminated from the Big Ten Tournament on Wednesday with a loss against No. 14 Maryland, and they come into this afternoon’s contest as the losers of 10 straight.
Purdue right now holds the last spot in the Big Ten Tournament, and the Boilermakers need a win to ensure that it remains above the cutline.
