#25 Indiana at Purdue: Preview, Odds, & How to Watch
If one were to check the current status of the Indiana-Purdue basketball rivalry it would read, “Advantage: Purdue”. After losing four in a row in 2012-13 Purdue has won 6 of the last 7 games with the Hoosiers. Under Matt Painter, Purdue is 12-9 against Indiana, but we have won 11 of the last 17 since he started 1-4 against them. Nationally, during the Painter era the teams are virtually even. Each has two Big Ten regular season titles. Purdue has four Sweet 16 appearances to their 3, but they had a No. 1 overall ranking and a No. 1 seed. Neither teams has been past the Sweet 16 since 2002, tarnishing a rivalry that was once among the best in college basketball.
