The Iowa Hawkeye men take a 7-5 Big Ten record on the road to top ranked Purdue tonight (Thursday night). We’ll have the game for you on KJAN, beginning at 5-p.m. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says Mackey Arena is always a tough place to play no matter what the Boilers are ranked.

Purdue seven-four junior center Zach Edey (EE-dee) is averaging better than 22 points and 13 rebounds.

McCaffery says Edey is not only one of the top players in the nation he is also one of the most improved.

McCaffery says it will take a complete effort to have a chance.

Purdue is 11-2 in the Big Ten and coming off a loss at rival Indiana.
