Locked On Boilermakers - Daily Podcast on Purdue Boilermakers Football & Basketball

Indiana Hoosiers aim to sweep Purdue Boilermakers as Lamar Wilkerson emerges as one of college basketball’s top scorers. Can Indiana replicate their early-season upset in West Lafayette, or will Purdue’s renewed emphasis on rebounding and perimeter defense, led by Oscar Cluff and Trey Kaufman-Renn, help deliver revenge in a raucous Mackey Arena?

Jacob Goins and Nick Arvin break down how both teams have evolved since their last matchup, spotlighting Purdue’s three-point volume, Indiana’s struggles with depth, and the critical roles of CJ Cox and Tucker DeVries. The episode digs into tournament implications for both programs—Purdue fighting for a No. 2 seed, Indiana clinging to bubble hopes—while questioning whether the Hoosiers’ offensive firepower can overcome road woes. Who steps up alongside Wilkerson to fuel Indiana’s run, and does Purdue’s home-court advantage spell trouble for their rivals?
