The Boilers are 16-3, while the Hawkeyes are 14-5 and have won three out of four. Purdue held on to beat Iowa by seven at Mackey Arena in December.

The Charlotte Hornets dominated in the third quarter and ran away with a historic 158-126 victory over the Indiana Pacers Wednesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Two records were broken over the course of the game. The Hornets scored a franchise record for most points scored in a game. The Pacers, unfortunately, set a franchise record for most points allowed in a game. Going into halftime the Pacers were only down by one point, but were outscored by 18 and 13 point margins in the third and fourth quarters respectively. Lance Stephenson was able to produce a double-double in this losing effort. The Pacers head back out on the road to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.
