Illinois (13-3, 6-0) gets its biggest test in the Big Ten when the Purdue Boilermakers (14-2, 3-2) visit Champaign on Monday morning. The Illini are riding a perfect record in the conference and are coming off a big home win against Michigan on Friday night.
Matchups to Watch For
After all the smack talk, Hunter Dickinson failed to suit up Friday night due to COVID-19. Kofi Cockburn dominated the game in his absence with another 20-point, 10-rebound game, but he will get tested against Purdue.
Zach Edey and Trevion Williams will both be tasked to keep Kofi in check on the boards and offensively.
