Indiana vs Purdue Basketball Preview: How To Watch, Key Stats, History

Indiana goes for the season sweep of in-state rival Purdue on Friday at Mackey Arena. The Hoosiers will be well-rested, as they haven't played since Sunday's 71-51 loss at No. 8 Illinois.

That came after the best stretch of coach Darian DeVries' first season at Indiana, a 5-1 run with key wins over Purdue, UCLA and Wisconsin. In the first matchup against the Boilermakers, Lamar Wilkerson and Nick Dorn combined for 37 points, while Conor Enright dished out eight assists and Tucker DeVries grabbed nine rebounds.

On the other side, Purdue hasn't quite lived up to expectations as the preseason No. 1 team in the nation, but it'll be a challenging road trip for the Hoosiers nonetheless. Purdue fell into a third-place tie in the Big Ten standings at 11-4 following Tuesday's 91-80 home loss to No. 1 Michigan.

That snapped a four-game win streak, highlighted by road wins over Nebraska and Iowa that led to the Boilermakers jumping six spots to No. 7 in the latest AP Top 25 poll. Friday marks the final Indiana-Purdue regular season rivalry game for seniors Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer and Trey Kaufman-Renn, who are 3-4 against the Hoosiers in their careers.
