Purdue finished the 2018 season with a 6-6 win and is awaiting to hear its postseason destination. UConn ended the year with a 1-11 record and didn’t win a single AAC game.
The addition of UConn rounds out Purdue’s non-conference schedule for the 2021 schedule. The Boilermakers open the season against Oregon State and will also play Notre Dame.
In 2025, Purdue will play UConn and Notre Dame but still needs to add one more non-conference game to its schedule.
Purdue and UConn have no previous matchups.
