Indiana men’s basketball (17-9, 8-7 Big Ten) is set to take on Purdue (21-5, 11-4 Big Ten) on Friday night on the road in the second of two matchups in the annual in-state rivalry series between the two programs.
The Hoosiers’ last outing was a 71-51 road loss at Illinois. That didn’t hurt Indiana’s bubble positioning too much, there’s only so many teams that can hang with Illinois in Champaign, but there’s value to these opportunities down the stretch and the Hoosiers have to make the most of them
to feel good on Selection Sunday.
The Boilermakers’ last outing was a 91-80 home loss to Michigan. That probably sealed Purdue off from competing for the Big Ten’s regular season title, but the Boilers still have quite a bit to play for between rivalry pride and seeding in the coming NCAA Tournament.
Here’s what to know about the game:
