Purdue has enjoyed a dominant stretch of basketball through the first 13 games of the Big Ten season. On Friday night, with a 90-72 victory over USC at Mackey Arena, the seventh-ranked Boilermakers made program history.

The victory over USC marked the sixth time this season that Purdue has defeated a Big Ten opponent by 18 points or more. Per associate strategic communications director Chris Forman, that’s the most in program history in a single season.

Purdue has defeated five Big Ten opponents by 18 points or more in seven seasons, including the 2022-23 and 2023-24 campaigns.

Here’s the rundown of those sizable victories for the Boilermakers this season:

After Friday’s win, Purdue improved to 11-2 in Big Ten play and sits atop the conference standings alone. The Boilermakers have a half-game lead on Michigan State and Michigan (both 10-2 in league play).

There are seven Big Ten games remaining on Purdue’s schedule. Will they add any more 18-point wins to their resumé?
