The UConn men's basketball team wraps up its three-game exhibition schedule on Tuesday night against another strong opponent.

The fourth-ranked Huskies will host Purdue at PeoplesBank Arena. UConn has looked impressive in exhibition wins over Syracuse (72-52) and at No. 6 Michigan State (78-70), even without the services of All-American\ guard candidate Braylon Mullins. 

While the Boilermakers enter the season unranked, they should be one of the top teams in the Big 10 this season led by four key returnees and Princeton transfer Caden Pierce, who was coveted by UConn out of the portal.

Hurley added that, as long as Mullins suffers no setbacks, he should be good to go for the Purdue game.
