This season has been tough sledding from the very beginning for Sharon Versyp and the Boilermakers, but this seems to be an all-time low for the program. Losing to a 2-11 Illinois team whose only wins are Indiana State and Omaha is inexcusable.
Purdue allowed the Fighting Illini were able to snap their 10 game losing streak on Sunday afternoon by a score of 54-49.
Everyone was all out of sorts today, sloppy play, bad shooting and a lack of timely stops were to blame for the loss. Purdue was actually able to gain a lead of up to 11 points at the 1:55 mark of the second quarter and had a 32-24 lead heading into the break.
