Purdue ranks third in the nation in field-goal percentage, but shot just 42.9 percent from the floor in the loss to Wisconsin.
What you need to know about Indiana
Speaking of close games: IU also fell on a last-second shot, losing 66-63 to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights last Wednesday at the hands of guard Ron Harper Jr. Indiana's defeat came about despite a quality game from forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, who had 19 points in addition to nine rebounds.
The Hoosiers won the first matchup against the Boilermakers on Jan. 20 to end a nine-game losing streak to their arch-rivals. Rob Phinisee scored 20 points off the bench in the victory and Xavier Johnson had 18 points. Jackson-Davis played only 11 minutes because of foul trouble. Having him play a more typical allotment of minutes could spell trouble for Purdue.
