Indiana University (IU) coach Mike Woodson expressed concern about the strength of the Purdue team ahead of their game. Woodson, with a 3-1 record against Purdue since 2022, emphasized the improvement of Purdue, particularly highlighting Zach Edey's performance. The shift in high school basketball talent choices, with more top-ranked Indiana high schoolers opting for Purdue, has raised questions about Purdue's growing influence in Hoosier State hoops. The game resulted in a decisive victory for Purdue, beating Indiana 87-66, further fueling discussions about the shifting landscape of Indiana basketball.
Purdue showed the Hoosiers how it's done 😮💨 @BoilerBall https://t.co/vnFt1QtjRd
BOILED UP! 🔥 @BoilerBall left no crumbs beating Indiana, 87-66! https://t.co/Gw1YMmDVs4
The title differential remains the great divide. But is it fair to ask ... is the epicenter of Indiana basketball relocating? https://t.co/PIOXXPoA0C
Gametime reading. @IndianaMBB has had @BoilerBall number head to head. Has 5 titles to 0. But where does the epicenter of Indiana basketball live these days? Worth asking around. https://t.co/uyTO5teX6b
A battle in the state of Indiana! 😤 🔥 Who you got? @IndianaMBB or @BoilerBall? https://t.co/7JxNnMzJaE
Nobody but IU has beaten Purdue three times since Mike Woodson arrived in 2022. He goes for No. 4 tonight at Assembly Hall, with a scouting report that suggests Zach Edey and his supporting cast are better than ever. https://t.co/YhdA52h1Dn
Mike Woodson got the IU job the same year Purdue reached No. 1, and since then is the only coach in America with three wins vs. the Boilers. He goes for No. 4 tonight at Assembly Hall, against what he considers the best Purdue team yet. https://t.co/YhdA52h1Dn
New bloods, blue bloods … Is Purdue becoming the epicenter of Hoosier State hoops? https://t.co/7ZMxUzvuIO
Among the last five recruiting cycles, nine top-ranked Indiana high schoolers chose Purdue and six went to Indiana. “It used to be that every kid who grew up in Indiana dreamed of playing for IU.’’ @DanaONeilWriter on the shift happening in Hoosier State hoops ⤵️
Purdue’s Zach Edey is better than ever, but the first words out of IU coach Mike Woodson’s mouth today weren’t about the 7-4 All-American. He sees what else is happening with the Boilers, and he’s rightfully concerned. https://t.co/YhdA52gtNP
IU's Mike Woodson is 3-1 against Purdue, the only coach in America with three wins vs. Purdue since 2022, but he sees what we all see: These are the best Boilers yet. And not because of Zach Edey. Tipoff tomorrow at #iubb. Buckle up. https://t.co/YhdA52gtNP
IU coach Mike Woodson just spoke with local reporters about the Purdue game tomorrow night, and said some things that caught my eye. Well, ear. You know what I mean. #columncoming
