In its win against No. 1 Purdue on Saturday, Indiana’s ability to turn the Boilermakers over, especially in the first half, was a key to victory. The Hoosiers outscored Purdue 20-8 in points off turnovers, which helped them to a 15-point lead at halftime and ensured victory in the final minutes of the contest.
Indiana’s defense, both as a team and individually, made the difference. As Indiana hounded Zach Edey via double teams in the first half, the Hoosiers were still able to fly around and recover to Boilermakers on the perimeter, keeping the pressure up all over the place.
