Would love to see it; but I think embarrassing IPFW loss at the end of the Crean tenure might have been the last time we see IU play on the road at a midmajor ever again honestly. They haven’t played an in state midmajor since ISU whooped em in Archie’s first season as HC too. I don’t think IU cares about their brand within the fringes of the state as long as they still own the Indy metro. Moving forward, I can't see the P6 even bothering with this sort of thing. It's not like they even mind if they go 18-10 now. Hell, they still make the NCAA and they are either a 9 seed or an 8 seed. They don't need 'bulk rate wins' in November. NCAA is going to take the top 12 middies, and 6 of them are already penciled in. The rest of them can either hope to get a game in the NIT. IU has no incentive to play UE, and neither does Purdue, although I sense Purdue would at least answer the phone call.

It wouldn't be surprising if a game at Purdue is the other "big" game. The Aces were originally scheduled to play at PU to open the 2020-21 season, before the NCAA canceled the first few weeks of the season, and that game had to be canceled. The whole non conference schedule was rearranged almost on the fly, and UE ended up playing in Louisville to begin that season. I hope it's not Purdue, but it was mentioned in 2020 when that game was called off, that they would try to schedule each other in a later season. At least they likely won’t have Edey as he just declared for the NBA draft yesterday - but is maintaining his college eligibility for now. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/36225916/purdue-zach-edey-declares-nba-draft-maintains-eligibilityEdey is withdrawing from the NBA draft and returning to Purdue. If this is our other “big” game, we and our big men will be tested. www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/37770348/zach-edey-withdraws-nba-draft-returning-purdue“… Despite his college production and accolades, Edey wasn't projected to be selected in the first round of next month's NBA draft. He's ranked No. 47 in ESPN's 2023 NBA draft rankings, slotting in as the No. 4 center...”

Note: BYU is only five hours from Vegas if anyone wanted to do some sightseeing and catch another game.

Can’t make the trip, but the trek from Vegas to Provo, Utah is one of the most beautiful drives in the USA with lots of natural attractions along the way. Wish I was retired and could make the trip.

I have been to 2/3rds of locations and they are awesome to visit, except going to all within 2 weeks might get you tired of seeing red rock formations. slot canyons, etc.

Nice, winnable game to start the season. I sure hope that massive center they had graduated after last season

Indiana State to play v Ball State in Gainbridge Field House prior to Purdue v Arizona for Indy Classic. Hope we can get some opportunities like this once the programs rebuilt

Hope we can get some opportunities like this once the programs rebuilt Its an hour from Muncie or Terre Haute so I guess it works for ISU and BSU but I would not be thrilled with playing a JV pregame for Purdue against an in-state team. I’d rather have a home and home series with Ball State. Make it a tournament or split the gate 4 ways and I’m interested.

Is this the return game for the game that was cancelled due to COVID a few years back?

This is the return game from a couple of years ago. It got pushed last year. I expected this game to be announced.
