The Big Ten won’t be won or lost tonight, but with a road win in a very hostile venue Purdue can take a major step towards one. With six games remaining Purdue only has two left in Mackey Arena, but 4-2 might be enough to get at least a share of the Big Ten. I think 5-1 definitely is enough.
Either way, an unprecedented third straight win in Assembly Hall would be a very big step. Formally ending Indiana’s 2018-19 season would just be a bonus.
