The Boilermakers continue to play early, but they also keep winning, as they beat the Fighting Illini 73-56 for their fourth straight win as they return home for their final two home games of the season.

It wasn’t the fireworks display we’re accustomed to from Purdue’s star Carsen Edwards, he had 23 points on 8 of 14 shooting including 2 of 5 from three, but coming off the last two games where he went 1-20 from three, the quiet efficiency was a welcomed change.

It wasn’t a clean performance by Carsen and crew though, as the Boilers started the game turning the ball over on 3 of their first four possesions.
