5:40 p.m. Some idiots in the student section just threw objects onto the floor by the Purdue bench during the under-12 timeout. They've been unruly all day, but that's totally uncalled for. Show some class. This is Indiana. 

5:35 p.m. — Purdue on a run and it's down to after Mason Gillis hits a three. it's 55-50 now after Gillis scores on a drive. 

5:30 p.m. — A very frantic first five minutes to the second half. Zach Edey gets three easy baskets inside for Purdue with no double team. The lead is down to nine, but Trayce Jackson-Davis is going to the line when we get back from the timeout. Indiana leads 54-45 with 14:56 to go. 

5:22 p.m.  — It's Purdue's ball as we start the second half. Zach Edey scores inside with no double coverage.

5:18 p.m. — Trayce Jackson-Davis with 18 points and 6 rebounds in the first half. He scores on Indiana's second possession and is now tied with Alan Henderson for No. 7 all-time on the IU scoring list. 

5:15 p.m. — A very nice halftime celebration for radio king Don Fischer. This is his 50th year behind the microphone at Indiana. Very well done. It's been an honor to know Don for 46 years now. He's simply the best. 

5:05 p.m. — In one of the most enjoyable first halves in recent memory, Indiana goes to the locker room with a 50-35 lead over No. 1-ranked Purdue. The Hoosiers are shooting 62 percent from the field against a very good defense.

4:28 p.m. — I really do believe Larry Scirotto is the worst referee in the Big Ten. This is such a tremendous game being played at a high level, and he's out there calling all sorts of ticky-tack fouls. Indiana leads 21-10.

3:15 p.m. ET — This is the first of two meetings between the Hoosiers and Boilermakers. The second one is on Feb. 25 in West Lafayette. The two teams split the season series a year ago, and Indiana's win in Bloomington last January snapped Purdue's nine-game winning streak.
