iubb swept Purdue for the first time in a decade.
In a game with two national player of the year candidates in Zach Edey and Trayce Jackson-Davis, it was a freshman guard who stole the show Saturday.WEST LAFAYETTE – Behind a career performance from Jalen Hood-Schifino, Indiana swept its season series with Purdue for the first time in a decade Saturday night,Indiana battled through a first half of extremes Saturday. In front of a feral Mackey Arena crowd, the Hoosiers started slowly before digging in behind their freshman point guard.
But Hood-Schifino was the difference, in a half when Indiana’s All-American big man, uncustomarily, could not find his footing at all. As Trayce Jackson-Davis finished the half with no points and only one more field-goal attempt than foul , his freshman point guard rolled up 23.Afforded extra space by Purdue’s drop coverage on ball screens and Edey’s attachment to Jackson-Davis, Hood-Schifino mixed in points at the rim, in the midrange and from behind the 3-point line.
Volume, however, has not always been there. The Hoosiers are among college basketball’s least 3-point-prone teams, and it’s come at a cost in recent weeks. Big 3s answered Purdue runs and quieted that crowd, and kept Indiana in touching distance. When the Boilermakers began to struggle after halftime, the arc pushed the Hoosiers ahead.
