Indiana defeated Purdue in the first meeting at Assembly Hall, snapping a 9-game losing streak to the Boilermakers. Rob Phinisee hit a game-winning 3-pointer late in the contest to give the Hoosiers their biggest win of the season.
Purdue will be looking for revenge and looking to close out a strong regular season — one that could result in a B1G title. Indiana, on the other hand, is looking to rally late to put together an NCAA Tournament resumé.
