And ahead of Rutgers. We beat them, have similar records, and they have zero wins against current top 25 teams

The voters are biased against teams that win with defense. We just don’t LOOK as “good” as teams that score 80 ppg.

Izzo and Painter know better.

Theyre ranked because they won a string of games before Maryland

Deserve it but will fall out after today

Not so fast Bac. Indy up by 15 at the half. Not impossible but Purdue needs to do something improbable.

They won a string of games against unranked opponents. Granted if they hold on today, they will probably stay ranked

Indy pulled it off … kudos to them. They have RU at home, then Michigan on the road. Win both they’ll be top 10. RU needs to keep up the streak vs Indy (like Iowa does versus us). Keep them out of the top 10.

If UMD wins, there will be 6 teams with 5 losses in the standings tonight.

In 2nd place with 4 losses. Very tight race and RU has 2 tough games.

Indiana will move up..Rutgers will be close...a Duke loss would help

To me Indiana beating Purdue is like Seton Hall beating us this year. Rivalry game throwout the records, otherwise inexplicable. Indiana lost bad game to Maryland this week, that’s more realistic

Purdue was favored by one whole point in that game.
