One of the best rivalries in college basketball takes place this Saturday, as Indiana travels to Purdue for the classic in-state clash. But some unruly weather headed through the Midwest could change some things for the weekend matchup.

Thursday morning, Trevor Peters of WLFI tweeted that Purdue is putting together a game-plan for the excessive amount of snow expected to hit West Lafayette on Saturday. Though the region is planning to look like a winter wonderland, the game between the Boilermakers and Hoosiers is expected to be played.

West Lafayette is expected to receive six-to-eight inches of snowfall on Saturday.
