Purdue at Illinois: GameThread & How to Watch

Purdue is trying to keep its postseason hopes alive and win three consecutive regular season games for the first time since 2012. That stretch also involved Illinois, as the Boilers were 3-6 before rallying to beat Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. David Blough is also looking for redemption after injuring his ankle in last season’ Illinois game.

T-Mill made the drive over the Chambana, so he’ll be tweeting from the stands. Kyle may be there as well.
