Purdue is 14-2 on the season and has one of the nation’s biggest frontcourts. They’ve won three of four games and face an Illinois team that has lost three straight. The Illini are decimated by injuries and shot just 29.8 percent from the field against Michigan State in their last game. They have a lot of young players playing big minutes and that’s not going to help against 7-foot A.J. Hammons, 6-9 Caleb Swanigan and 7-2 Isaac Haas.
