It wasn’t expected, but the Illinois Fighting Illini advanced to take on the Purdue Boilermakers here in the quarterfinals.
Illinois pulled off an upset of the Iowa Hawkeyes and will look to continue their push toward the NCAA tournament with another upset of a ranked opponent.
Illinois Fighting Illini
Illinois got off to a fast start against the Iowa Hawkeyes and looked like a completely different team than they’ve been in the past. However, after leading for the entire first half, the Fighting Illini coughed up the lead, but did grab it back right before the buzzer.
Expecting the complete opposite based on these teams, the Illini took off in the 2nd half with their hot shooting. After Iowa got within 2, a turnover sealed their fate.
The Fighting Illini took down Minnesota in the opening round to get into that spot against the Hawkeyes and continue their play on the offensive end.

The Illini only averaged 72 points per game this season. and while they did only score 68 against Iowa, doing that against an impressive defense and really shutting the Hawkeyes hot shooters down.
Purdue Boilermakers
Purdue earned themselves a bye in this spot and they had to earn every win down the stretch to do so.
The Boilermakers won their final three games and took 2 of them against Maryland and Wisconsin, which were impressive given the circumstances. With a win here, this would mark the first back to back semi finals appearance since 2009 and 2010.
Purdue has really gotten it down on both ends of the floor. The Boilermakers rank 3rd in the Big Ten with just 64.9 points against. On the offensive end they shot 57% from the field over their last 4 and averaged 82 points.
