Purdue at Illinois | Game Preview | Is the crown up for grabs?

#3 Purdue goes into Champaign where a win will win the Big Ten outright.

Confetti might have already fallen in Mackey Arena, but #3 Purdue will get a chance to win the Big Ten outright on Tuesday night against the only school capable of tying with them, #12 Illinois.

It won’t be easy. Purdue won the first matchup on January 5th, 83-78, but that game was played in Mackey Arena. This one will have Purdue traveling to Champaign to play at the State Farm Center.

#3 Purdue 26-3 (15-3) at #12 Illinois 13-5 (13-5) | 7:00 p.m. | Peacock

The scenario is simple. Purdue has two games left, one on the road at Illinois, and a season finale at home against a plummeting Wisconsin team. It has to win just one of those two to win the Big Ten outright.

It would also win outright if Illinois loses to Purdue or on the road at Iowa for its season finale.

It will make for an interesting dynamic as Purdue heads to Illinois, not needing to win while Illinois absolutely needs the win to stay alive in the Big Ten and to get a bump in seeding for the NCAA Tournament.

It’s the marquee Big Ten matchup of the season as the two teams have separated themself from the rest of the Big Ten and are the Big Ten’s best bets to go far in the NCAA Tournament.

And while Purdue’s Big Ten title might be decided in Illinois, there’s a chance that it’ll go back to West Lafayette with the Big Ten on the line as Wisconsin looks to right its season with a major upset to finish the season.
