PURDUE BOILERMAKERS

JANUARY 19TH, FEBRUARY 19TH

I don’t even think we need to elaborate on this rivalry. When don’t we need to beat Purdue? These are winnable matchups as well for our Hoosiers this year. Purdue is just slightly above mediocre this season. Would I say that even if they were undefeated? Absolutely! This isn’t a rivalry for nothing! We need both of these wins no excuses. Losing to Purdue is one of the worst things known to mankind. Unacceptable period.
