Purdue vs. Illinois on March 1 was a game to see for sure, and not only because it was Senior Night. Mackey Arena was sold out and the Paint Crew was at its strongest. Purdue gave Illinois an early 13-point lead which was stifled by halftime when the Boilers came back to tie the score.  An incredible 3-pointer from Purdue in the final minute sealed the deal and the game ended with a 75-67 Boilermaker victory. It was an amazing game to watch and a terrific note to end on for seniors JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore, who were fittingly the top two scorers on the night. The two and their many achievements were honored in a ceremony following the game. Thanks for four great years and best of luck in the future!
