LIVE! Illinois hosts Purdue on Senior Night in Top 15 showdown

CHAMPAIGN (WCIA) — The stage is set for Illinois basketball. Win over Purdue on Senior Night in front of a sold out crowd Tuesday at State Farm Center and Big Ten title hopes are still on the table. Lose and the Boilermakers will walk out of the building all alone at the top, winning the title outright. The Illini would still need some help with one more Purdue loss on the final day of the regular season to make it a reality, but a loss eliminates all hope, giving Tuesday’s game even more importance.
