The Illinois basketball team welcomes in the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday in hopes of moving to 8-3 this season.
Purdue isn’t a bad program with some solid size and shooting from distance. They also have a couple of good wins this season. The Boilermakers took down No. 20 Ohio State and then knocked off Maryland a couple of games later.
