“The two teams met a year ago in December, with Purdue rallying for a 92-86 in Toronto in mid-December. The Boilermakers trailed by 12 points early on as Alabama made 13, 3-pointers in the opening half and 19 for the game. Zach Edey scored 35 points, while Braden Smith added 27 points as Purdue rallied for the win. Mark Sears had 35 points for the Crimson Tide.” -Purdue Sports
Bama also made the Final Four this season. So it would look like Purdue has another quality opponent. The Boilers currently have 3 games announced for the upcoming season, Bama, Marquette, and Texas A&M all have dates on the calendar. The date of the 2025-26 game in Tuscaloosa will be announced at a later time.
