Game Thread: West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Purdue Boilermakers

The West Virginia Mountaineers welcome the Purdue Boilermakers to the Coliseum in Morgantown today at 1 pm ET. Both teams come into today's matchup looking for that elusive "signature out-of -conference win" with time running out on both schedules before conference play begins in earnest. Purdue comes into Morgantown today for their first true road game of the season (they've played several on neutral courts, all losses) and WVU is playing for the first time in a week, with the finals break now behind them.

Let's head into the holidays on a positive note. Shall we?
