Who will walk out of the Coleman Coliseum with early bragging rights when No. 8 Alabama and No. 2 Purdue face off on Thursday?
Purdue owns the all-time record against Alabama, 7-3. The Boilermakers have won the last two matchups.
Alabama (2-0) advanced to the Elite Eight last year and is off to a strong start this season, winning 103-96 at No. 5 St. John's on Saturday behind 25 points from Labaron Philon Jr.
The Boilermakers fell from the top spot in the AP poll this week despite winning their first two games and receiving twice as many first-place votes as new No. 1 Houston. Chalk that up to last week's closer-than-expected win over Oakland, but the Boilermakers have a chance to make a rebuttal Thursday night in a tough road game.
