WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue basketball will take on Marquette inside Mackey Arena for the 2022 Gavitt Tipoff Games between the Big Ten and the Big East, the two conferences announced on Friday. 

The contest is scheduled to be played on Nov. 15, with tipoff time and television assignments to be designated at a later date. It will be the Boilermakers' fourth appearance in the event and the third straight matchup against the Golden Eagles. 

Purdue is 1-2 all-time when playing in the Gavitt Games, losing to Villanova in 2016 before splitting matchups against Marquette in 2017 and 2019. The Boilermakers managed to grab an 86-71 victory in their first-ever game against the Golden Eagles but suffered a 65-55 loss in their last meeting.
