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.
