Purdue, Rutgers men's basketball game moves back to avoid conflict with Citrus Bowl
WEST LAFAYETTE - Purdue's Jan. 2 home basketball game with Rutgers, originally scheduled during the day on what is a paid holiday for most since New Year's Day falls on a weekend, will now tip off at 7 p.m.
The decision to push back the start time stems from Purdue's invitation to the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl against LSU on the same day.
That game kicks off at 1 p.m. in Orlando, Florida.
