On Saturday, the Hoosiers went into Mackey Arena and beat their arch-rivals for the first time in 10 years on the road 79-71. After a slow first half, Indiana played arguably their best final 20 minutes of the season and held off every Purdue run they attempted late. Jalen Hood-Schifino had the game of his life with 35 points while Trey Galloway and Miller Kopp added 13 points each with terrific nights. Trayce Jackson-Davis contributed just 10 points and was taken out of his rhythm by national player of the year frontrunner Zach Edey. However, it hardly mattered as the guards and wings were excellent for all 40 minutes. The team improves to 20-9 overall and 11-7 in the league. They also put themselves in excellent position for both a top-four finish in the Big Ten and double bye in the conference tourney as well as a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament.
