56. That is ether number of points the Illini put up against No. 14 Purdue on Wednesday night. The Illini picked the wrong night for their lowest scoring output of the season as Purdue nearly doubled up Illinois in the second half. Carsen Edwards and Matt Haarms made sure the Illini ended the month on a sour note.
Overall, Illinois had its chances, leading at the half and tying the game with under 10 minutes to go. Yet, a young team ran in to a very good veteran team. So, how do the Illini grade out?
