Indiana sends No. 12 Purdue to third consecutive defeat
Jan 27, 2026; Bloomington, Indiana, USA; Indiana Hoosiers forward Tucker DeVries (12) celebrates after a play against the Purdue Boilermakers during the first half at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Mandatory Credit: Robert Goddin-Imagn Images Lamar Wilkerson scored 19 points and Nick Dorn added 18 as Indiana handed No. 12 Purdue its third straight loss, a 72-67 decision on Tuesday in Bloomington, Ind.
The Hoosiers (14-7, 5-5 Big Ten) led 65-55 with 5:23 left after a layup by Wilkerson and hung on from there. Indiana has won two straight after a four-game skid.
The Boilermakers pulled within 65-63 with 1:31 to go on Braden Smith’s layup, but Conor Enright drilled a 3-pointer with 1:12 remaining to extend the Hoosiers’ margin.
Indiana got two free throws apiece from Enright and Wilkerson in the final 23 seconds to seal the outcome. Purdue (17-4, 7-3) was unable to take advantage of a game-high 23 points from Trey Kaufman-Renn and 14 from Smith.
Indiana hit 12 of 33 (36.4%) from the 3-point arc and made 14 of 19 foul shots (73.7%). The Boilermakers sank just 8 of 15 at the line (53.3%) and 7 of 20 from long distance (35%).
The pregame storylines involved 3-point shooting for both teams. Could Indiana take advantage of Purdue’s inability to guard the arc during losses at UCLA and at home vs. Illinois? And could the Boilermakers run the Hoosiers off the arc as Rutgers couldn’t on Friday, when Indiana made 15 treys in an 82-59 rout?
The answers in the first half trended toward Indiana. Wilkerson and Tucker DeVries nailed consecutive 3-pointers to fuel a 13-0 run that gave the Hoosiers a 32-23 advantage after Jasai Miles drained a 3-pointer. Indiana outscored Purdue 24-9 from the arc in the half.
The proceedings ended on brand when Wilkerson knocked down a 3-pointer with 37 seconds left in the half, enabling the Hoosiers to take a 40-29 cushion to the break.

Former Lions DE Tracy Scroggins dies at 56
Detroit LIons Tracy Scroggins exchanges words with Green Bay Packers Marco Rivera after a play during the second quarter of their game Sunday, December 10, 2000 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis.(Milwaukee Journal Sentinel photo by Dale Guldan) Tracy Scroggins, who spent his entire 10-year NFL career with the Detroit Lions, died Monday. He was 56.
The Lions announced the passing of the former defensive end but did not provide a cause of death.
His family issued a statement to TMZ, however, that blamed football, saying they believed he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. That can be diagnosed only after death.
Scroggins was among the thousands of former players to sue the NFL over concussion-related symptoms. The case was settled in 2015.
“Playing in the NFL gave Tracy the opportunity to pursue his lifelong dream and to rise from poverty,” the family statement read. “However, unfortunately, the NFL was also ultimately the cause of his untimely demise. Tracy spent every moment of retirement courageously battling the devastating effects of CTE. While our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that he is finally at peace.”
Scroggins appeared in 142 games (89 starts) with the Lions from 1992-2001. The team selected the Oklahoman in the second round of the 1992 NFL Draft out of Tulsa.
He retired with 60.5 sacks, 321 tackles (23 for loss), eight forced fumbles and seven recoveries, and an interception.

Mandatory Credit: David W Cerny/Reuters via Imagn Images Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin won’t play in Tuesday’s Group A game against the United States after sustaining a lower-body injury in Monday’s 5-1 win over Czechia, Hockey Canada announced.
A three-time gold medalist who has earned the nickname “Captain Clutch,” Poulin is considered day-to-day after leaving Monday’s win in the first period following a hit into the boards from Czechia’s Kristyna Kaltounkova. The latter was assessed a penalty for an illegal hit.
Poulin, 34, is playing in her fifth Olympics, winning gold in 2010, 2014 and 2022 along with a silver in 2018.
Canada and the U.S. have combined to win all six gold medals in women’s hockey since it was introduced in the 1998 Nagano Olympics — Canada claiming four and the Americans two. They’ve faced off five times in the gold-medal game and are heavy favorites to meet there again in this year’s Games.
Both teams are undefeated entering Tuesday’s Group A game. Canada is 2-0 with a 9-1 goal differential, while the U.S. is 3-0 with a 15-1 differential.
