Purdue was tested on Thursday against High Point, but never trailed in the second half and has first-team All-American Braden Smith leading the way.
The showdown at noon on Saturday will be an intriguing matchup of one of the best offensive teams in the country, Purdue, against one of the best defensive teams, McNeese.
