Purdue basketball's typically tough 2025-26 schedule will include a tropical destination
Purdue men's basktball will attempt to continue its streak of exempt tournament championships in a tropical location next season.
Per the John Purdue Club events listing on the Purdue For Life website, the Boilermakers will play in the Baha Mar tournament Nov. 20-21. The remainder of the field has not officially been announced.
Purdue has won 10 consecutive games in these Thanksgiving tournaments over the past four seasons. That included victories over N.C. State and Ole Miss at last season's Rady Children's Invitational in San Diego.
Tennessee won last season's event, which also featured Baylor, St. John's and Virginia. With reasonable certainty of a similarly stacked field, the Baha Mar tournament makes an already tough non-conference schedule even tougher.
Alabama, Auburn, Iowa State, Kent State and Marquette are the Boilermakers' known non-Big Ten opponent for 2025-26.
