Brad Underwood isn't sure why, exactly, it's so difficult to win on the road in the Big Ten. He does know that toughness and connectivity is why his #illini have two of the nine wins.https://t.co/mDpJNZSodn

Talked to Brad Underwood before @IlliniMBB whooped Purdue on Tuesday night.

This is Illinois' best team in a decade-plus.

And it's happening because Underwood, 56 years old, blew up his coaching style and started over in the fall.

In other actual basketball news...win of the night goes to Illinois, which throttled Purdue by 17 in Mackey. During a season where hardly anyone wins road games in the B1G that was extremely impressive.

An extra year of experience plus Kofi Cockburn equals the best Illinois team we've seen since the 2012-13. Statement win by Brad Underwood at Purdue.

'Where'd that J come from?' Chris Collins was surprised when #illini Giorgi Bezhanishvili had his best outside-the-paint shooting performance on Saturday.
