The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Purdue Boilermakers are finalizing an agreement to play each other likely in the 2026-27 season-opener in Las Vegas, Nevada, per a report from CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.
This will be a part of a doubleheader at the T-Mobile Arena with Tommy Lloyd’s Arizona Wilcats taking on the former Pac-12 Conference rival UCLA Bruins.
The Zags have never beaten the Boilermakers before at an 0-5 all-time record, including a recent 80-68 loss in Detroit, Michigan, during the 2024 NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16.
