Defense doesn't do it

"Guard his (backside)!" Weber hollered from the bench.

It's been a familiar refrain aimed at the Illini. There's no 'D' in Illinois.

The latest setback - a win that snapped a three-game losing streak for Purdue; another disappointing loss for Illinois - resulted from an Illini defense that couldn't stop a parked car. No. 13 Purdue erased an early deficit by shooting 65.4 percent in the final 20 minutes.
