Purdue’s men’s basketball squad is heading north for a series of exhibition games that will take them across Canada as part of an early‑season tour.
Tour Overview
The first stop on the itinerary is a matchup against Trinity Western University, a game that will be streamed live on the Canada West platform for a fee of $10.99 Canadian dollars, roughly $7.79 in U.S. currency.
The Boilermakers arrive in Vancouver fresh off a dominant 102‑63 win over the local Vancouver Selects, a performance that showcased a balanced offensive attack.
Antione West Jr. led the scoring with 20 points, including five three‑pointers, while Gicarri Harris contributed 12 of his 20 points in the first half, underscoring his ability to find the basket early.
Other contributors such as Luke Ertel, Jacob Webber and Daniel Jacobsen also reached double‑digit scoring, signaling depth across the roster.
Streaming Details
Fans in Canada can tune in via Canada West, paying the modest fee to watch the action live, while U.S. viewers can follow the stream through the same service.
The schedule will continue with contests against the University of Calgary and the University of Fraser Valley, giving the team additional chances to fine‑tune its chemistry before the regular season begins.
Coach Matt Painter has emphasized that these cross‑border games are as much about building camaraderie as they are about sharpening skills, and the early results suggest the team is responding positively.
