This is the second time the teams have met this year, with Indiana falling 81-76 in West Lafayette earlier this season. The loss brought Indiana head coach Mike Woodson to 3-4 against Purdue all time, with Sunday's game being his last guaranteed matchup with the in-state rival before his planned retirement.
