The Indiana–Purdue rivalry is a rivalry between the Indiana University Hoosiers and Purdue University Boilermakers, the two flagship universities in the state of Indiana. It is regarded as one of the most intense collegiate rivalries in the United States, and one of the strongest and most followed collegiate rivalries in the Big Ten Conference. Among all of college sports rivalries, ''Newsweek'' listed it among the top 12 and ''Huffington Post'' listed it as the fifth best rivalry overall. The intensity of the rivalry is augmented by the deep passion within Indiana for basketball (see Hoosier Hysteria). Both universities have very large student bodies; Purdue is an engineering research university located in the northern portion of the state while Indiana University is a liberal arts research university located in the southern portion of the state. The academic and geographic divergence of the two institutions polarizes the state of Indiana into two large fan bases. Both universities have been members of the Big Ten Conference for over 100 years, ensuring yearly competition across all sports and adding conference standing implications to the rivalry. ==Men's basketball== Indiana and Purdue battled it out for the first time on March 2, 1901. The two have battled it out at least once a year since then, and until 2001 they usually met twice a year. Purdue leads the all-time series 115–88, while Indiana leads the series during the modern NCAA tournament era. Both schools have won more Big Ten Conference championships than any other members. Purdue has 22 titles and Indiana has 21; since the Big Ten began basketball in the 1904-05 season, the schools have combined to win or share over 39% of the conference championships. Additionally, Indiana has won 5 NCAA championships in basketball and Purdue was retroactively awarded the 1932 Helms Foundation national title. Since Purdue's 1932 national title pre-dates the Tournament era (1939–present), it is not officially recognized by the NCAA.〔See the (official NCAA 2009 Division 1 Records guide ), which notes The Helms Foundation of Los Angeles selected the national college men's basketball champions from 1942–82 and researched retroactive picks from 1901–41.〕 Indiana finished the 1975 and 1993 regular season ranked #1. Both Indiana and Purdue have captured one post-season NIT championship; Purdue won in 1974 and Indiana won in 1979 by defeating Purdue in the final at Madison Square Garden. The two teams also met in the postseason the following year in the 1980 NCAA Sweet 16, with Purdue winning on their way to the Final Four. That was their first, and only, head-to-head NCAA Tournament meeting. Purdue's overall lead is due to its longer era of dominance in the early years of the series. Purdue won 51 of the first 62 games through 1939, including four winning streaks of more than eight games. In 1940, Indiana won both yearly contests for the first time ever and went on to win their first of five NCAA Championships. The rivalry favored Indiana in the 1940s and 1950s with the Hoosiers dominating the two decades with a record of 25-12. Since 1960, the series has been very balanced with each team winning 52 games as of February 2015. The intensity of the rivalry reached new heights throughout the 1970s, '80s, and '90s when Bob Knight and Gene Keady coached Indiana and Purdue, respectively. The two legends combined for 16 Big Ten titles and 13 Big Ten Coach of the Year awards while leading the Hoosiers and Boilers. Some felt the rivalry lessened in quality and intensity when Knight was fired from Indiana in 2000, while Keady struggled in his final years before retiring from Purdue in 2005. However, the rivalry has become re-energized in recent years under Purdue's Matt Painter and Indiana's Tom Crean have re-energized the success at both schools and helped restore the rivalry. ESPN has labeled the basketball rivalry as "one of the two or three best rivalries in the sport," while ''College Magazine'' ranked it as the 10th best college basketball rivalry and TotalProSports listed it as the seventh best. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indiana–Purdue rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
