The official tip times have not been announced, but at minimum Boiler Fans abroad can now clear their calendars on these days.
The January 31st date at Mackey Arena will be a wild one, it is a Friday and students are just back on campus starting the second semester, the Paint Crew will be in full force, I would assume this will be an 8 PM type of tip, but the official times will be released later.
When Purdue visits Gloomington, it will fall on a Sunday. Maybe we will have an early Sunday tip? Clear another Sunday just two weeks after the Super Bowl, don’t put the Crock Pots up quite yet, and get the cheese dip ready, nothing better than Boiler Ball on a Sunday afternoon or evening.
Look for the times to be released as the season begins, as CBB has plenty to sort out for prime-time games, and these two will be near the top for the NCAA.
