How to Watch No. 1 Purdue Basketball at No. 21 Indiana on Saturday
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — No. 1 Purdue basketball hits the road for a matchup with rival Indiana on Saturday inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. It's the first of a pair of games between the two teams in the span of three weeks.
The Boilermakers, who enter the matchup boasting a 22-1 overall record that includes an 11-1 mark in Big Ten play, have won all seven of their road contests this season. The No. 21-ranked Hoosiers, however, have won five of their last six games.
"Well obviously they have a really good team, they have a lot of experience," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "With Xavier Johnson being out, it's allowed a lot of the other guys a lot more experience and a lot more opportunity.
"[Jalen] Hood-Schifino is a really talented player and very dangerous. In his last game at home, he was 6-for-7 from three against Ohio State. Just someone you have to be with at all times, especially if he gets it going. Trayce Jackson-Davis is just having one of the best years in college basketball."
