February 19, 2016

Ten of the nation's best schools will go head-to-head this Saturday in what will likely be the biggest weekend of the college basketball season thus far. Indiana and Purdue will play in the most expensive game of the weekend, but all five AP Top 25 games are garnering big ticket demand on the secondary market.

Check out the complete list below, according to data provided by TicketIQ:

No. 17 Purdue @ No. 22 Indiana | Avg. Price: $326.74 | Get-in: $276

Limited ticket inventory exists for Saturday night's game between No. 17 Purdue and No. 22 Indiana, which has caused prices to spike on the secondary market ahead of the tip-off. The average price for Indiana Hoosiers tickets against the Boilermakers is currently $326.74 and the cheapest ticket available is $276. The Boilermakers enter Saturday's game at 21-6 on the season and have split their last five games, including a loss to No. 4 Maryland and an overtime win against No. 8 Michigan State. The Hoosiers enter with a similar five-game win/loss trend, beating Michigan, Iowa and Nebraska and falling to Penn State and Michigan State.

The Sooners take their 20-5 record to West Virginia and will look to break a two-game skid after taking consecutive losses from Kansas and Texas Tech.
