Purdue vs. Rutgers Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (8-7, 1-3 Big Ten) have struggled in recent weeks after their young roster got off to a 5-1 start, and they face one of their toughest tests yet in the form of the No. 20 Purdue Boilermakers (11-4, 3-1 Big Ten).

Purdue similarly got off to a good start - beginning the season 4-0 including a win over then-No. 2 Alabama - but cooled off in December with three losses in five games. But, two of those December losses were against then-No. 17 Texas A&M and then-No. 2 Auburn.

Rutgers has lost two straight and three of its last four games, which included defeats to Wisconsin, Indiana and Ivy League team Princeton.
