WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Two of college basketball's top offenses go head-to-head when No. 1 Purdue welcomes Iowa to Mackey Arena at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday. The Boilermakers enter the matchup looking to bounce back from a loss while the Hawkeyes ride a three-game winning streak. 

The two teams are meeting for their only meeting of the 2022-23 regular season. The last time they tipped off was during last year's Big Ten Tournament Championship Game in which Iowa came out with a 75-66 victory. 

"They have good pieces, they have a really good team," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "You've gotta be ready to score the basketball because you know they are. And that's our goal. Our goal is to slow them down. I don't know if you can ultimately stop them."
