I admit that I was a little worried after Illinois blew out Purdue in January. They were also coming in hot, having scored a pretty nice upset of Iowa yesterday. Unfortunately for them, fatigue as a factor. Playing a third game in three days showed as they did not have their legs.
Purdue, who was resting comfortably in West Lafayette the last two days, had no such trouble. After Illinois set the Big Ten Tournament single game record with 14 threes on Wednesday the Boilers went after it themselves. Oh, and we still have A.
