The No. 17 Texas A&M men’s basketball team (8-2) will travel to Indianapolis to face the No. 11 Purdue Boilermakers (8-2) at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday morning in the Indy Classic.
This game is crucial for both teams aiming to secure a non-conference Quad 1 victory to enhance their resumes. Texas A&M has been on a winning streak, despite shooting just above 40%. Their aggressive play often disrupts opponents, leading to poor shot choices. However, this defensive approach can also result in a number of open three-point attempts for their rivals.
Head coach Buzz Williams will have to be careful with how he wants to deal with a Purdue team that shoots a lot of three and shoots them well. They have shot over 200 from beyond the arc at almost 41%, close to the Aggies’ regular shooting. Either way, this is shaping up to be a classic matchup among two top 25 teams.
Below is all the information on how to follow the game.
