The Indiana Hoosiers finished off a season sweep of Purdue over the weekend. Just a week ago, Northwestern also upset the Boilermakers in Evanston. However, neither did enough this week to actually push themselves past Purdue and earn the No. 1 spot in our Big Ten Power Rankings.
Somehow, the Boilermakers were so dominant at the start of the year that their 2-4 record in their last six games doesn’t impact their overall seeding. But the panic button has definitely been pushed in West Lafayette, as the Boilermakers attempt to right the ship prior to the Big Ten Tournament and beyond.
