Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter previews Indiana
Hear what Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter said about Tuesday’s trip to Assembly Hall to play rival IU.
- The Indiana Hoosiers are coming off a resounding victory but are 0-5 against currently ranked teams.
- Purdue has lost two straight games in which it led in the closing minutes but the opponent hit late 3-pointers.
Indiana basketball (13-7, 4-5 Big Ten) seeks its first win over a ranked team this season as it hosts No. 12 Purdue basketball (17-3, 7-2), which wants to stop a two-game slide. IU’s Tayton Conerway, who has been limited by a recent ankle injury, was listed as questionable but it is in uniform.

Sam King, Journal & Courier: Purdue 91-84
“One year ago, Purdue went from Big Ten leader to four-game losing streak, including a loss to the Hoosiers at Assembly Hall that essentially took the Boilermakers out of contention for a conference title. Facing a similar fate, the Boilermakers face an IU team with the offense that best counters their defensive strategy. Purdue will have to out-offense its biggest rival.”
Nathan Baird, IndyStar: Purdue 77-72
“Worry less about how the Boilermakers shoot in a rival gym and more about how they defend the 3-point line. Purdue also has some ticked off seniors making their last trip to Bloomington. That alone might be a difference maker.”
Zach Osterman, IndyStar: Indiana 81-74
“Both teams need this win, Indiana more loudly than Purdue. There’s a lot the Boilermakers can do to hurt IU, but the 3-point defense concerns are glaring. With an assist from the energy football injects into the building, the Hoosiers win.”
- The Hoosiers snapped a 4-game losing streak by throttling Rutgers with 43% 3-point shooting and a breakout performance by Nick Dorn (23 points, 6-of-10 3-pointers). Lamar Wilkerson leads the Hoosiers, scoring 19.4 points per game on 40.6% 3-point shooting. Tucker DeVries averages 14.6 points and 5.0 rebounds, and Tayton Conerway, who has been limited by a recent ankle injury, adds 11.2 points and 4.1 assists.
- Over the past week, the Boilermakers squandered late leads in losses to UCLA and Illinois. In both games, Purdue struggled with 3-point shooting while the opponent exceled. Braden Smith, who battled through an ankle injury against Illinois, averages 15.2 points, 9.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game, shooting 43.6% from 3-point range. Fletcher Loyer averages 12.7 points on 37.4% 3-point shooting. Inside, Trey Kaufman-Renn adds 12.5 points and 8.6 rebounds, and Oscar Cluff 11.8 points and 7.8 rebounds.
