The stage is set for another chapter in the rivalry between Indiana and Purdue – two Big Ten titans meeting for the 218th time. The Boilermakers hold the edge in the all-time series (125-92).
Indiana Hooisers
Momentum is on their side as they have won 3 of the last 4 matchups – including the last 2 at Assembly Hall. However, they’ll be without last year’s NCAA Player of the Year runner-up, Trayce Jackson-Davis, who has moved on to stardom in the NBA.
Purdue Boilermakers
Returns the reigning NCAA Player of the Year – 7’4″ Zach Edey. The #2 Boilermakers are hoping to reclaim their dominance. They won 9 straight meetings before Indiana snapped the streak in January 2022.
Zach Edey
Edey is a walking double-double machine + he is averaging 20.3 points and 13.5 rebounds against Indiana in the last four meetings. What will he do now that TJD in no longer in the equation?
Hoosier Coach Woodson says he has a different team this year and that Purdue is “a bunch of shooters around a monster in Edey.”
17,000 passionate Hoosier fans will be ready to erupt!
