Top 10 Current Rivalries in College Basketball
By Jacob Rude
5. Indiana-Purdue
Homer pick time! As a former IU student, it was hard to put this game so low on the list, but it still ranks among the best games in the Big Ten.
Only recently did the rivalry become fresh again. After Kelvin Sampson left the Hoosiers crumbled, Tom Crean has built them back up into a contender again, and as a result, the Hoosiers have won four of the last five games. However, Purdue still holds the all-time lead quite comfortably with a 113-88 record.
But any rivalry that leads to chairs being chucked on the court and expletive-laden tirades has rightfully earned it’s place on this list.
