Purdue hands Illinois women second home loss
CHAMPAIGN, Ill — The lid never came off the rim.
The streaking Illinois were shut down Thursday night at State Farm Center and handed only its second home loss of the season in a 62-52 defeat to Purdue.
Before this game the Illini (16-5. 6-4 Big Ten) were the fifth-best three-point shooting team in the nation. They certainly will dip nationally after going 15% from three (4-for-26).
This is Purdue’s 65th win against the Illini all-time. The Illini have only defeated Purdue (14-6, 5-5 Big Ten) on 18 occasions.
Final: Illini 52, Purdue 62.
