Fans have been waiting outside of Mackey Arena since Monday. It's a big game and last year the Boilermakers won 79-59 at home and 87-66 at Indiana. I thought coming into this season that Indiana was going to be one of the better teams in the Big Ten but they have lost their last five in conference play. Purdue is second in the Big Ten, Indiana is 9th. Purdue has won eight of their last nine games playing their best basketball of the season. Braden Smith is taking on the leadership role and he came three rebounds short of a triple-double his last game. Purdue covers.
