IT’S CROSSROADS CLASSIC TIME Y’ALL.
Indiana is thoroughly mediocre in this event, going 3-3 since its inception in 2011. Notre Dame owns an identical mark through six games, and is riding a 2-game losing streak after collapsing against the Hoosiers in 2015 (catalyzing an Indiana resurgence that would end in a Big Ten title) and falling to Purdue last season (giving the Boilermakers their first win in the event’s history).
