Indiana basketball hosts No. 4 Purdue in Big Ten action on Thursday night. The rivalry has been one-sided in recent seasons, favoring the Boilermakers.
IU (13-4, 4-3) is 11-0 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall this season, while the Boilers (15-2, 4-2) have won three games in a row.
Trayce Jackson-Davis is the Hoosiers’ clear leader, while Purdue sports depth headed by Jaden Ivey and big men Zach Edey and Trevion Williams.

Hot, hot, hot: Rob Phinisee gets off to a scorching start
Oops: Race Thompson scores — for Purdue
Purdue basketball vs. IU in the closing minutes
IU ball with 33 seconds to left after Trevion Williams misses from close range.
Mason Gillis scores with 1:05 left, giving Purdue its first lead since 24-22. Boilers have the ball with 50 seconds left.
Trayce Jackson-Davis makes 0-of-2 free throws with 1:21 to go. He’s still at 2 for the game.
Everything about the last 30 seconds of basketball does a pretty good job of encapsulating the wall IU has been unable to break down in its own performance for the last 4-5 years. Different players, different coaches. Same program just not able to find the key moments. #iubb

2:31 left: IU basketball 63, Purdue 63
Both teams miss go-ahead shots.
Jaden Ivey’s floater with 3:35 to go ties it at 63.
Isaiah Thompson’s go-ahead 3 misses, and Trey Galloway’s fast-break layup puts IU ahead 63-60 with 4:30 to go.
Trayce Jackson-Davis returns to the game with 7:59 left, and picks up his 4th foul with 7:08 to go. Back to the bench. However, Zach Edey clunks a free throw.
IU needs Trayce Jackson-Davis here. That’s simplistic to a point, but both offenses have kind of broken down to bare bones. Games like this are determined by playmakers in moments like this. Purdue has one. Indiana has to be able to counter, and that’s Jackson-Davis. #iubb

Race Thompson reaches behind him for a rebound, and somehow swats the ball into the basket — for Purdue. Own goal.
Purdue freshman and 2021 IndyStar Mr. Basketball winner Caleb Furst’s first two points in the Purdue-IU rivalry were “scored” by IU’s Race Thompson, trying to tip the defensive rebound.

IU suddenly has a lethal guard combo: Rob Phinisee with 17 points, Xavier Johnson with 15.
Jaden Ivey is up to 13 points, leading the Boilers. He has double-digit scoring in 24 of his past 25 games.
After a whistle, Jaden Ivey goes up and Race Thompson swipes at him, knocking him to the court. It’s a flagrant foul on Thompson.
If Ivey would’ve stopped on the whistle then he wouldn’t have gotten put on his butt!!! Come on!

The Boilers have 10 turnovers and shot poorly after gaining an early lead. Zach Edey has 9 points. Trevion Williams is struggling mightily with 2 points and 4 turnovers.
Free throws, yuck all around: Purdue is 1-of-5, IU 8-of-16.
Insane atmosphere at Assembly Hall is lifting IU and affecting Purdue. Hoosiers lead 37-28 at the half. Rob Phinisee with 17 points.

Boilers need to push this lead out with Jackson-Davis on the bench.
Didn’t do it enough Monday without Kofi on the floor.
IU 0-3 from 3.— mike carmin (@carmin_jc) January 21, 2022
14:24 left in first half: Purdue 12, IU 8
Trayce Jackson-Davis has 2 fouls in the opening minutes.
A reminder that “over the back” by itself is not a foul. A push is. Need to see a replay to know whether that applies. Either way, it doesn’t solve the enormous problem now in front of Indiana. #iubb
— Zach Osterman (@ZachOsterman) January 21, 2022
IU’s first points come on a pair of Xavier Johnson free throws with 16:49 left, and he has 6 of their first 8 points. The Hoosiers miss their first 4 shots from the field before a Trayce Jackson-Davis dunk.
Where have we seen this before? Zach Edey with a couple of quick baskets from near the basket.
Mason Gillis scores the game’s first basket on a 3. He’s better than 50% from deep coming in.
Purdue and IU starting lineups
Starters for IU are same as always. Xavier Johnson, Parker Stewart, Miller Kopp, Race Thompson, Trayce Jackson-Davis. Purdue: Isaiah Thompson, Jaden Ivey, Sasha Stefanovic, Mason Gillis, Zach Edey.

Trayce Jackson-Davis appears to be a full go
Indiana’s star left its game against Nebraska late after hitting his tailbone hard during a fall to the court. He’s warming up with the rest of the Hoosiers.
Been asked how Trayce looks. So far, a little stiff. Keeps putting a hand on his hip and grimacing. Looks like he can go and he might even have a great game, but like he can already tell his is going to hurt like hell.

The students are inside and hawing at the Purdue players in shoot around.
Jaden Ivey and Trevion Williams took it with a chuckle. They seem very excited for this. #iubb
