00:00In 49 other states, eh, maybe it's just basketball.
00:04In Indiana, it's a way of life.
00:07It's the Boilermakers and the Hoosiers tonight inside Mackey.
00:12Number 10, Purdue hosting IU.
00:15Indiana is struggling mightily.
00:17The calls for Mike Woodson's job in year number four have loudly begun.
00:22And you see a double-digit spread, now 12.5 in favor of the Boilers.
00:27Purdue still stands at 146.
00:29And, uh, Joe, winning inside Mackey Arena is a very precarious task for anybody,
00:35but certainly in a rivalry game.
00:38Purdue swept the season series against IU a year ago.
00:42What do we expect in their first meeting in 2024-25?
00:47Oh, you're being generous, Ben.
00:49It has been more than an issue.
00:51The Hoosiers haven't won at Mackey Arena since 2013, people.
00:56They're 4-19 against Purdue overall in that span here.
01:01So, I mean, Woodson, like you said, getting booted, Indiana.
01:05But started the season out great, right?
01:074-1 in the Big Ten.
01:09Now, all of a sudden, 5-5.
01:11And, yeah, it looks like they're running on fumes here.
01:16Very hard to go against Purdue at home here.
01:20They can shoot you absolutely out of that gym.
01:24And Braden Smith, by the way, first season without Zach Edie.
01:28I mean, he is just absolutely dominant here.
01:33And he's going to dominate the Hoosiers.
01:35I mean, you can't back him.
01:37Ben, in this arena, it has not been good.
01:40They're going the wrong way.
01:41I think Purdue, I hate to admit it, looks like a very well-oiled machine here.
01:46And Indiana looks like the wheels have fallen off.
01:49I would lay it if I'm in this game at all.
