The Purdue women kicked off the B1G Ten Tournament with a win last night over the last seeded Illinois Fighting Illini.
Purdue won the game 72-60, lead by Karissa McLaughlin scoring 17 points and having 4 assists. Ae’Rianna Harris was a rebound shy away from a double-double, posting a 13 and 9 stat line.
Lyndsey Whiliby added 14 for the Boilers as well.
This is an uphill climb after a colossal meltdown over the last half of the season, after starting the year 13-5.
The women will have to win four more games this week to win the tournament and get bid into the big dance.
