BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Besides pride and the Barn Burner Trophy, there are significant stakes for both Indiana and Purdue as they finish the Big Ten regular season at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday at Mackey Arena.

Indiana’s two-game losing streak has put the Hoosiers back into the jeopardy of having to play on the first day of the Big Ten Tournament. That’s a scenario best avoided, given that it would entail five games in five days to win the tourney.

There is one very far-fetched scenario where Indiana could lose to the Boilermakers and still avoid the first day of the Big Ten Tournament. It would require Wisconsin to win at Iowa and Northwestern to defeat Nebraska.

Apart from that, an Indiana loss would consign the Hoosiers to the long road at Gainbridge Fieldhouse starting on Wednesday.

For Purdue, the Boilermakers need to win to protect their place in the Big Ten Tournament period.

After their 92-85 victory at Penn State on Thursday, Purdue lifted itself above Northwestern, Rutgers and Penn State in the Big Ten standings. The bottom three teams get left out of the field.

Purdue got an assist from the Big Ten office this week when the conference that two games Northwestern didn’t play at Southern California and UCLA in January due to wildfires raging at the time were considered to be forfeited by the Wildcats. If those games hadn’t counted against the Wildcats, Northwestern would be tied with Purdue, albeit with an uneven amount of games played.

If Purdue doesn’t win on Sunday, it can be caught from behind by the Scarlet Knights, who win a direct tiebreaker with the Boilermakers. Rutgers has a winnable game against last-place Penn State, so the pressure will be on the Boilermakers to win.

Purdue wins a direct tiebreaker with Northwestern, so the Wildcats are not a threat in a tie between the two schools.
