The Indiana Hoosiers come into this matchup with an 8-6 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent home game against the Purdue Boilermakers, 81-69. Leading the way for the Indiana Hoosiers was sophomore forward Trayce Jackson-Davis as he recorded 25 points and 4 rebounds. Sophomore guard Armaan Franklin had a productive outing off the bench for the Hoosiers as he pitched in 14 points and 7 rebounds.

The Indiana Hoosiers had a solid shooting game against the Purdue Boilermakers as they connected on 25 of their 57 field goal attempts (43.9%), but they really struggled from behind the three-point line (16.7%).
