In an in-state rivalry game against Purdue with less than 2,000 fans from both sides combined in attendance, the Purdue women's basketball team dominated the Hoosiers in all facets of the game: points, rebounds, shooting percentage and fan energy.

IU might have the best combination of two marquee wins of any team in the nation with the wins over Kentucky and Ohio State.
