- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Indiana basketball hadn't won at Mackey Arena in quite some time, but that all changed tonight when IU beat Purdue 79-71.
Jalen Hood-Schifino had an impressive game for Indiana with a career-high 35 points. The win was big for another reason: It was the first time the Hoosiers swept the Boilermakers in a decade.
See how Twitter reacted to No. 17 Indiana's win over No. 5 Purdue:

Indiana with one of the most impressive wins of the entire college hoops season, beating rival Purdue, 79-71, at Mackey.
On an off-night from Trayce Jackson-Davis, it was Jalen Hood-Schifino who shined, finishing with 35 points and 7 boards.

Mike Woodson was doubted by many when he was hired at Indiana but he’s delivered the goods in the rivalry against Purdue now 3-1 against the Boilermakers

On my Grandfather’s 96th B-day he helped cheer on the Hoosiers to an epic win over our in-state rival. He was cackling at my antics during the game.
Dunno how much longer he has & I will cherish this moment/memory for the rest of my days.
Thank you @IndianaMBB #IUBB pic.twitter.com/vFkAXfxuED— Lucky & Dash’s Uncle (@Indiana_Austin) February 26, 2023
Purdue played a terrible second half. Had every reason to come out here and beat the doors off IU but failed to do so. Kudos to Indiana for bringing what Purdue didn’t and hitting the tough shots. Tough pill to swallow tonight.

Tonight Jalen Hood-Schifino solidified himself as a lottery pick. When a great players gets confidence early and stays aggressive…he’s tough to stop! Incredible performance on the road in hostile environment.
