Defense travels, and No. 15 Purdue basketball’s winning streak reached seven with a 65-58 victory at No. 14 Oregon on Saturday.

Purdue’s offense is clicking, scoring 79 or more points in four of its last six games, including 104 against Nebraska two games ago. Smith’s poise at point guard allows the offense to travel well, and the team should find openings behind the arc against a Ducks defense that ranks 140th in 3-point defense vs. the average opponent (per Haslametrics).

The Boilermakers are currently 14-4 and the Ducks are 15-2. The Ducks’ record in their last ten games is 7-2 while the Boilermakers’ record is 5-0 in 2025. Wednesday night Purdue won at Washington, 69-58. Oregon also won their last game. The Ducks won at Penn State, 82-81.
