His best game was a 33-point and eight-rebound performance in an 85-70 win over South Carolina Upstate on Dec. 21.

Senior forward Jason Carter has also been red hot, reaching double-figure scoring in 14 consecutive games and 15 on the season. He has registered a pair of double-doubles, including a 20-point and 10-rebound game against Belmont in the season-opening 92-80 triumph on Nov. 9.

Indiana finished 6-6 at home in 2020-21 after losing its last two contests there, while Purdue posted an 81-69 victory in its trip to Bloomington last season.

The Boilermakers are one of the top offensive teams in the nation, ranking in the top 10 with an average of 86.2 points. Guard Jaden Ivey is scoring a team-high 16.4 points per game while fellow sophomore Zach Edey, a center, is contributing 15.6 along with 7.5 rebounds. Ivey was one of five players in double figures in Monday's 96-88 double-overtime triumph at No. 17 Illinois with 19 points and has produced 10 or more in 16 of his 17 games.

Edey poured in 20 points against the Fighting Illini, marking the fourth time in five outings he has reached that mark. Purdue has scored at least 90 points on a nation-best nine occasions this season and has done so in back-to-back conference games for the first time since February 1998. The Boilermakers have been receiving strong contributions from their reserves, who have amassed 25 or more points in 12 consecutive contests.

The Hoosiers have been outstanding at home this season, winning all 11 of their contests. Much of the success can be credited to their defensive play, as they rank first in the Big Ten in field-goal percentage defense (36.5) and scoring defense (62.7). Trayce Jackson-Davis leads Indiana in both scoring and rebounding as he is averaging 19.5 points and 9.1 boards per contest.

The redshirt sophomore forward notched 23 points on 10-of-16 shooting and pulled down 12 rebounds in the Hoosiers' 78-71 victory at Nebraska on Monday for his fourth consecutive double-double and eighth overall this season. During the streak, Jackson-Davis is averaging 20.3 points and 11.8 boards while shooting 63.5 percent from the floor. Junior forward Race Thompson reached double digits in points for the 10th time in 11 games with 12 against the Cornhuskers while freshman forward Jordan Geronimo, who is averaging just 4.5 points, came off the bench to record 10 and grab eight rebounds.

SportsTek's model is leaning over on the total, projecting the teams to combine for 143 points. It also says one side of the spread is hitting in well over 50 percent of the time. You can only get the model's pick at SportsTek.
