Riding 8-game winning streak, No. 4 Purdue visits USC

No. 4 Purdue takes its eight-game winning streak into the first of four road games over the next five outings on Saturday, facing Southern California in Los Angeles.

The Boilermakers (16-1, 6-0 Big Ten) are visiting the Galen Center for the first time in program history, and at USC for the first time since December 1972. The two squared off twice in the Trojans' inaugural Big Ten campaign a season ago, with Purdue winning both in West Lafayette, Ind., and Indianapolis for the conference tournament.
