How to Watch Indiana's Game With Purdue on Thursday Night

The big in-state rivalry between Indiana and Purdue resumes on Thursday night at Assembly Hall, where the Hoosiers look to end a nine-game losing streak to the Boilermakers. Here's how to watch, with gametime and TV information, the latest on the point spread, starting lineups and newsy nuggets.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — It was Feb. 20 back in 2016, and Indiana senior guard Yogi Ferrell hit a shot in the final minute to seal the Hoosiers' 77-73 victory over arch-rival Purdue, snapping a three-game losing streak to the Boilermakers.

The Hoosiers haven't beaten them since, losing nine games in the row. It's the second-longest losing streak in series history, but the Hoosiers get a chance to end it on Thursday night, when they take on No. 4 Purdue at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

"I've watched them play a number of times, and they've got the total package,'' Indiana coach Mike Woodson said. "They play hard, and (Purdue coach Matt) Painter has done a hell of a job in terms of implementing his system and how he wants them to play. It should be a hell of a game.

"We play well here at home, and it's in front of our fans, and we've just got to commit. I can't tell you how the game is going to turn out, but we've got to commit for 40 minutes. We can't play a half. You can't play 35 minutes. You've got to commit for 40 minutes to beat a good team.''

Purdue is 15-2 overall and Indiana is 13-4, and the combined 28-6 record is the best in the rivalry matchup since 2008. Purdue opened as a 3.5-point favorite
