Last regular season game of the year, the conference is already wrapped up by at least two games. Sort of a strange situation. Purdue will be taking on an Illinois team that they haven’t seen yet this year and that has underachieved. It should make for an interesting matchup.
#5 Purdue (24-5, Big 10 13-5) vs. Illinois (20-10, Big 10 11-8)
