Purdue picked up their biggest win of the season, on a national stage and are now tied for first place in the Big Ten after an 84-68 win over Illinois at home.
The Boilermakers have some great wins on the season, but a regular season sweep of this Illini team is something special. Illinois had beaten Purdue in three consecutive games coming into this season, but the Boilermakers changed their fortunes in 2022.
You cannot talk about this game without giving Jaden Ivey the recognition he deserves. The Boilermakers’ superstar dropped 22 of his game-high 26 in the second half to guide Purdue to a 16 point win.
