WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Zach Edey got a crash course in the Indiana Hoosiers-Purdue Boilermakers rivalry when he was held scoreless in January.

The 7-foot-4 freshman from Toronto didn't make the same mistake Saturday.

Less than two months after going 0 for 4 against the Hoosiers, Edey scored 20 points, grabbed nine rebounds and led No. 23 Purdue to a milestone 67-58 victory over the Hoosiers.

Purdue has won nine straight in the series, matching the second-longest streak in school history. The Boilermakers also won nine straight from 1929-35 when future coach John Wooden was playing, plus they won 12 straight from 1908-14.

''It's big for the fan base, it's big for the state, it's big for us, for sure,'' Edey said. ''I struggled in the first game and I knew I had to come into this game and make a statement.''

Did he ever.

Just four days the former baseball pitcher scored a career-high 21 points, he went 8 of 10 from the field and scored 12 of Purdue's last 20 points.

The Boilermakers (18-8, 13-6 Big Ten) now head into next week's conference tournament with five straight wins, a top-four seed and a double-bye.

Aljami Durham had 14 points and Trayce Jackson-Davis finished with 12 points and five rebounds to lead the Hoosiers (12-14, 7-12), who have lost five in a row. They finished conference play with a fifth consecutive season with a non-winning reecord - the first time that has happened since 1911-19.

''It's been a rough five games. We've just got to recharge our batteries,'' Jackson-Davis said. ''We've just got to put the past behind us and just keep pushing forward.''

This one looked awfully familiar, too, as the Hoosiers went 5 of 23 on 3-pointers and had several long scoreless stretches.

Yet Indiana still managed to hang around.

It quickly cut a 29-20 deficit to 35-31 early in the second half before the Boilermakers answered with eight straight points. When the Hoosiers charged back, getting within 47-42 with 6:29 to go, Purdue countered with an 8-3 burst to make it 45-35.

Indiana was still down six with less than a minute to go, but the Boilermakers closed it out at the free-throw line and with a big helping hand from Edey.

''It's crazy,'' he said. ''When I first came here nobody thought I was going to play. They thought I was going to redshirt. It really shows how much work coach (Matt) Painter and everyone has put in.''

BIG PICTURE

Indiana: Just a couple of weeks ago, the bracketologists had the Hoosiers pegged for an NCAA Tournament bid. Their late-season swoon certainly put those hopes in jeopardy, and now they may need to win their first Big Ten Tournament title to make it.

Purdue: The Boilermakers head into next week's league tourney as perhaps the league's hottest team and a real threat to win the title in Indianapolis. Not only are they playing well, they are 14-1 in Indiana - and won't leave the state again this season.

THE VIEW

While only a few dozen were inside Mackey Arena and its cardboard cutouts, hundreds enjoyed the rivalry from across the street at Ross-Ade Stadium. They took advantage of the unseasonably warm, sunny day by sitting on blankets inside and watching the game on the football stadium's video board.

UP NEXT

Indiana: Must wait for the Big Ten Tournament bracket to learn next week's opponent at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Purdue: Won't play until Friday against a yet-to-be determined foe.
