“Thanks to our continue partnership with Big Ten Basketball, we are able to provide excellent content for our listeners,” said White.
White noted that IU and Purdue will be wrapping up their regular season this weekend.
“IU and Purdue battle it out Tuesday night,” White. “IU takes on Ohio State at Noon on Saturday and Purdue closes out its season with Northwestern at 4:30p.
WSLM serves as the Louisville market station for both IU and Purdue Sports.
Purdue is currently leading the Big Ten and could win outright, but at worst will share the Big Ten Title.
IU is tied for 8th in the Big Ten. Without winning the Big Ten Tournament, IU announcer said the Hoosiers would have little chance of getting into the NCAA Tournament.
Fischer said IU would likely be seeded in the Big Ten Tournament to play on Wednesday, March but if they finished out the regular season with wins, the team could be seeded to play on Thursday.
