IU loses 62-49. The Hoosiers just didn't have it tonight as the Badgers controlled both sides of the court.
DJ White led the Hoosiers with 22 points and 17 rebounds against a large front-line for Wisconsin. Eric Gordon added 16 points in the losing effort, but was missing from the offensive attack for most of the first half key stretches in the second half.

Put back dunk from EJ cuts the lead to 10 points. Gordon had a monster stretch in the middle of the half, but has not shot the ball many times since the half.

Another offensive rebound for the Badgers, that's 15 on the day.
The Wisconsin fans begin chanting overrated as Wisconsin does the impossible and knocks off a team ranked two spots ahead of them. Does that mean Purdue should be ranked No. 10 in the country after beating the Badgers on Satuday? I am confused.

Live from the Kohl Center, the No. 11 Hoosiers will look to get its first signature win of the season. Eric Gordon has a light cast on his left wrist after sustaining an injury at practice earlier in the week. He has been shooting well in warm-ups, but we will have to wait and see how E.J. does in the game.
