Indiana isn’t going to make this easy. After its worst shooting performance in six years and a seventh straight loss to Purdue, IU isn’t going to be finding a comfortable spot in the NCAA Tournament anytime soon. The Hoosiers could never get comfortable in a tough road venue on Thursday night.  And while they battled throughout, IU never gave itself a chance on the offensive end of the floor in a 57-49 loss at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette. Another challenging road contest awaits. Indiana (18-10, 8-9) will travel to Illinois on Sunday afternoon.  That game will tip at 2…

Purdue defeated Indiana by a final score of 57=49 on Thursday night at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Ind. The three keys to the game, final stats, and highlights are below. Indiana (18-10, 8-9) will travel to Illinois for a 2 p.m. tip on Sunday. THREE KEYS TO THE GAME 1.

Much has changed since Indiana and Purdue met less than three weeks ago. While the Boilermakers left Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall with a victory, they have not won a game since.  Meanwhile, Indiana has won three of its last four contests and appears to be turning a corner at just the right time. But one thing that hasn’t changed is Purdue’s control of the head-to-head series with Indiana. The Boilermakers have won six straight against the Hoosiers and nine of the last ten contests.  IU has not won a game at Mackey Arena since 2013. As IU and Purdue get…

Rob Phinisee is returning to his hometown on Thursday night.

They don’t come often, but when they do, it immediately becomes one of the more enjoyable wins of the year for Indiana fans. It takes a special kind of team to go into West Lafayette and pull out a win.  Or has been the case in some years, just a really bad Purdue team. The last time IU won at Purdue (in 2013), former head coach Tom Crean said this about winning at Mackey Arena. “To win here, you’ve gotta really be on top of your game. It’s not just the offensive and defensive execution. It’s the attitude. It’s the…
