Purdue gets upset 84-70

Let's make this quick.

Illinois beats Purdue at home, 84-70.

The Boilers, 20th ranked in the nation, went into Champagne hoping to build on their 14-2 start to the season and collect their third Big Ten win of the year. Instead, they came out sluggish and lacking the intensity you need to win on the road in the Big Ten. The Fighting Illini have struggled all year to an 8-8 record, but move a game over .500 upsetting the Purdue Boilermakers for their first conference win of the season.

Despite going into the halftime tied 37-37, the Boilers allowed Illinois to shoot 5 of 10 from the three point line, and 50% from the field as a whole.
