The final regular season home game is less than 24 hours away.
Purdue heads to Illinois with more than just a regular season win on the line, seeding in the Big Ten Tournament can change based on the impact of this game, and Purdue will also be heading to the Beefhouse on the way home but will it be to celebrate a victory or to drown their sorrows? Only time will tell. This is a dangerous Illinois team that has had some injury trouble and hasn’t lived up to their lofty preseason expectations.
Purdue is coming off a victory over Rutgers where they rained down three pointers on the visitors from New Jersey. They’ll be facing an Illinois team that is near the top of the nation three point attempts but shoots only 30% from deep. Which team makes their threes might be the deciding factor in the game.
