Purdue hosts Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Monday night in the season opener for the Boilermakers
The Purdue Boilermakers welcome the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders to Mackey Arena on Monday night in the season opener for both teams. The Boilermakers are coming off a trip to the National Championship game in which they lost to UConn. The Boilermakers were coming off a upset loss to 16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson two years ago, but ran through the tournament last year before running into the Huskies. They were able to make a run thanks in large part to two-time National Player of the Year Zach Edey, but Edey is gone and the Boilermakers will have to show they can win without him. It starts with four straight home games, the last of which will be against No. 2 Alabama in a couple of weeks. Their non-conference schedule also includes No. 18 Marquette, No. 13 Texas A&M and No. 11 Auburn. It is a tough schedule, but first the Boilermakers will look to get their season started off with a win over Islanders.

The Islanders, though, are looking to come to town and pick up the huge upset to start the season.
The Islanders have two preseason ranked teams on their non-conference schedule as they will also play No. 4 Houston in late December.
The Islanders are coming off a good season in which they went 21-11 and won their last seven regular season games. They would lose their first conference tournament game to Nicholls in overtime and then fell to Abilene Christian in the first round of the CIT.
