Illinois is riding an eight-game winning streak into West Lafayette, facing a powerhouse Purdue squad in a top-15 Big Ten clash. Even without senior guard Kylan Boswell, the Illini have found new leaders in Andrej Stojaković and Jake Davis, who’ve stepped up big time. But Purdue’s offense, led by Braden Smith—now the Big Ten’s all-time assist leader—will test Illinois’ defense like never before. With both teams tied atop the conference, this matchup could shake up the Big Ten standings. Who do you think has the edge: Illinois’ resilience or Purdue’s home-court firepower? #Sports #BigTen #IllinoisBasketball
