Purdue freshman Scott Martin leads the team in scoring at 13.3 points per game, while fellow freshmen E'Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson are also scoring in double figures at 13.0 and 10.0 points, respectively.
The trio combined for 39 points in Saturday's 84-53 victory over Loyola of Illinois.
The Tigers have won the last three games in the annual event between the two conferences, with their last loss coming at Purdue, 76-64, in 2003.
Purdue is 2-4 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge - 0-3 on the road - and has lost two of the three all-time meetings with Clemson.
