2025-26 Schedule 1 of 365: Purdue

With the portal closing the real offseason has finally begun as Purdue has released it's non-conference schedule for the 2025-26 season.

The Boilermakers schedule is certainly stout. While the Baha Mar field is not fully revealed, that event's history shows that the opponents will be worthy of a program that spends each season chasing a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Purdue will, however, only play one true road game when they visit Alabama on November 13th. Back to back home games versus Iowa State (December 6th) and Marquette (December 13th) will be huge opportunities for resume wins leading up to a massive match-up with Auburn in Indianapolis on December 20th. 

Purdue is not shying away from a challenge with their guarantee games either, while Evansville (November 4th) and Eastern Illinois (November 28th) would not be projected to be much danger, match-ups against recent MAC pace-setters Akron (November 16th) and Kent State (December 29th) will challenge the Boilermakers and even push them for 40 minutes. After ending John Calipari's career at Kentucky, Greg Kampe's Oakland Golden Grizzlies will back themselves to challenge Purdue in Mackey Arena (November 7th)

2025-26 Notes
  • The Docket Sheet still likely needs some housekeeping, if you find any inconsistency that needs to be corrected just reach out to me on Twitter.
  • This year I decided to leave in un-confirmed return games from last season with their own notation, if you're a coach and can confirm these games are happening or not, please feel welcome to reach out.
  • I'll do my best to provide write-ups in expanded coverage this off-season.
