Tipoff Time, TV Info Released for Purdue's Sweet 16 Game vs. Houston

A tipoff time and television information has been released for No. 4 seed Purdue's Sweet 16 game vs. No. 1 seed Houston. The two teams are scheduled to play at approximately 10:09 p.m. ET on Friday, March 28. The game will air on TBS/truTV.

Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas and Evan Washburn will be on the call for the game.

Purdue and Houston will meet at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, which will essentially serve as a home game for the Boilermakers. However, Indy hasn't been kind to Matt Painter's team this season, posting a 1-2 record in the state capital. All three of those games were played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, however.

The matchup between Purdue and Houston will be the second game of the night, following a Sweet 16 matchup between No. 2 seed Tennessee and No. 3 seed Kentucky. The game is scheduled for 7:39 p.m. ET.

The Boilers reached the Sweet 16 after posting victories over No. 13 seed High Point in the first round (75-63) and No. 12 seed McNeese in the second round (76-62). It's the sixth time in eight years Purdue has made an appearance in the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.

Houston earned a trip to the Sweet 16 after wins over No. 16 seed SIU-Edwardsville in the opening round (78-40) and No. 8 seed Gonzaga in the second round (81-76).

Purdue enters the game with a 24-11 record while Houston is 32-4.

The winner of Saturday's game will advance to the Elite Eight, which will be played on Sunday, March 30 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
