WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — As the Purdue basketball program continues to prepare for the upcoming 2021-22 season, tip times have been announced for this year's rendition of the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic in November at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.  

Purdue will play North Carolina at 4 p.m ET on Nov. 20. The game will be broadcasted on ESPNews. The same day, Villanova will play Tennessee. The winners of the matchups will play in the tournament's championship game at 1 p.m. ET on Nov. 21, televised on ABC. 

Should the Boilermakers suffer a loss to the Tar Heels, they would play for third place at 3:30 p.m. ET on Nov. 21, with the game being broadcasted on ESPN. 

All four programs were ranked inside the AP Top-25 at some point during the 2020-21 basketball season, but only Purdue and Villanova were listed in the final rankings on March 15, 2021.

Purdue is returning more than 90% of its minutes from last season after earning a No. 4 seed in the 2020-21 NCAA Tournament. With one of the youngest teams in the country last year, the Boilermakers finished with an 18-10 overall record, including 13-6 in the Big Ten.

The team finished fourth in the Big Ten Standings behind Michigan, Illinois and Iowa before a first-round loss to North Texas in the NCAA Tournament.
