Bloomington, Ind. – When it came to Indiana and Purdue Athletics battling head-to-head in 2022-23, the Hoosiers were head-and-shoulders better.
IU finished with a record 15 ½-4 ½ victory over Purdue in the Governor's Cup, the annual all-sports competition between the in-state rivals. First established in 2001-02, the Governor's Cup awards points to the winning team in each of the schools' shared 20 sports. If the schools don't meet in a particular sport head-to-head during the regular season, then that sport's point is awarded to the school that finishes higher in the Big Ten Championship competition. If the teams meet twice during the regular season (i.e. basketball, volleyball, women's soccer), each contest is worth ½ point. And in sports where the teams meet three times (baseball, softball), the point awarded to the team that wins at least two of the three match-ups.
Indiana's 11-point margin of victory is the most decisive win for either school in the series' 22-year history. Previously, the largest margin was five on three occasions (IU in 2009 and 2013, Purdue in 2016). This also marks IU's fourth consecutive win in the series dating back to 2017-18, the longest win streak in series history.
Indiana's dominance in 2022-23 was across the board. In basketball, coaches Mike Woodson and Teri Moren's programs each won home-and-away, completing IU's first basketball season sweep of Purdue since 1982-83. In baseball, IU scored 51 runs – including 26 in the series opener – during a three-game sweep of Purdue this past weekend that moved Coach Jeff Mercer's team into a tie with Maryland for the Big Ten lead. And in sports where the point was awarded based on the team performance at the Big Ten Championship competitions (men's and women's cross country; men's and women's golf; men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field), IU earned seven out of a possible eight points.
