Indiana (4-5 Big Ten, 13-7 overall) ended a four-game losing streak last Friday with an 82-59 road victory over Rutgers but still have lost seven of the past 12, dropping from the AP rankings and putting their NCAA Tournament hopes in jeopardy.

This will be the 222nd meeting between Purdue and Indiana, the third-longest series in the Big Ten behind Washington-Oregon (318 games) and UCLA-USC (265). Purdue holds a 128-93 advantage over Indiana, having won three of the past four and 16 of 21 since 2013-14. But Indiana has won three of the past four games in Bloomington.

No. 12 Purdue:

In a statistically dubious distinction of the Illinois defeat, the Boilermakers became the first team in 20 years to shoot more than 56%, score more than 80 points and commit three or fewer turnovers — and lose.

During the loss, transfer center Oscar Cluff surpassed 1,000 career points, and Braden Smith moved to 12th in NCAA history with 943 assists (he moves into the top 10 with seven more). Fletcher Loyer (eighth in the Big Ten with 46 3-pointers) will seek a return to form after managing only six points against the Illini, and Trey Kaufman-Renn also will try to bounce back from a two-rebound performance.

Head coach Matt Painter is focused on improving his team’s inside assertiveness (16.4 free-throw attempts per game is the lowest in the Big Ten and 341st in Division I) and defense (allowing conference opponents to shoot 56.3%).
