Illinois
The good — and the bad — from Illinois’ loss to Purdue
The Illini’s hopes for a Big Ten regular season title were dashed on Wednesday night, as the Boilermakers prevailed in Champaign 77-71 on Senior Night. Terrence Shannon Jr. picked a bad night to have his worst game since his return from suspension, and the rest of the Illini went ice cold from three in the second half.
Nonetheless, it shouldn’t put a damper on what’s been a great season for the Illini with a lot left to play for and prove, including the regular season finale at Iowa and a top-three seed for the Big Ten tournament.
The Good
The first half was about the best combination of complete basketball that the Illini have played in a while. Guerrier was a bright spot in the first half contributing 3 threes. While Edey got his points in the first half with 18, no other player for the Boilermakers had more than four.
The rebounding margin stayed roughly even to keep the Illini in the game at 31-29 in slight favor of Purdue, but the Illini landed +7 from the free throw line ahead of the Boilermakers. The variety of looks that the Illini threw at Edey defensively with different help side defenders coming to collapse on the ball had an impact on certain possessions and kept him off balance for stretches.
The Illini still had great balance offensively despite a poor performance from Shannon, with four double-digit scorers, including team-high 20 from Domask.
The Bad
Shannon Jr. picked up a cheap second foul just ahead the midway point of the first half and wasn’t to able to get anything going even in the second half after sitting most of the first half, finishing just 3-of-13 from the field, including 0-of-4 from three. In your biggest game on Senior Night, your best player (who’s the biggest mismatch for the opponent) needs to show up and that didn’t happen for Illinois.

While the Boilermakers struggled from deep in the first half, they unleashed a barrage of 8 threes on the Illini in the second half that proved to be too much for the Illini to overcome when combined with Edey’s dominant 28 points. While the Boilermakers got hot from deep, the Illini picked the worst time to go ice cold from three and couldn’t keep pace with Purdue’s scoring clip.
Illinois left Edey in more one on one situations in the second half, which wore them down with fouls racking up, including four in quick succession for Amani Hansberry. Second chance points for Purdue continued to hurt Illinois as it frequently led to open threes for Purdue’s shooters.
The Outlook
Illinois has the opportunity to get right with an away game against the Hawkeyes before the Big Ten Tournament. It should be another offensive battle between two up and down teams that like to push the pace and score from the perimeter.
Iowa will come hungry as it continues to make a late push to get off the bubble and into the NCAA Tournament field, so the Illini will have to mentally reset and match the Hawkeyes’ energy on the road to come out with a win.
Illinois needs to get back to what it does well attacking the rim effectively and consequently setting up a more effective perimeter attack than they showed against the Boilermakers. Additionally, the Illini need to do a better job closing down defensive possessions with a rebound to limit second chance points and set up their potent transition attack on the other end. Hopefully, Tuesday’s showing was an aberration in what’s been otherwise a great stretch of basketball for the Illini over the last month and they can get back in the win column against the surging Hawkeyes and go into the postseason with some confidence and momentum.
A woman was taken into custody, accused of breaking into a home in Aurora, Illinois, on Saturday morning.
Aurora Police said around 9:14 a.m., officers responded to the 100 block of South Edgelawn Drive for a report of a residential burglary after a neighbor reported what they described as a suspicious person on the property.
Arriving officers found evidence of forced entry at the home and encountered a woman inside the residence who refused to come out.
Police said officers secured the area and members of the department’s negotiating team and Special Response Team responded to the scene. After more than an hour of negotiations, officers took the woman into custody without further incident and she was taken to an area hospital for evaluation.
No other individuals were inside the residence, and there were no injuries to officers or anyone in the area.
Investigation into the incident remains ongoing.

(WGME) Sen. Tammy Duckworth, from the state of Illinois, is publicly opposing Dr. Nirav Shah’s run for the U.S. Senate in Maine, citing his past performance as Illinois’ public health director.
Duckworth posted on X Thursday that her opposition is based on Shah’s handling of a 2015 Legionnaires’ outbreak at a veterans home. Duckworth said Shah “put his image before the safety of veterans” during the outbreak, which resulted in the deaths of 13 people.
Shah has previously responded to criticism of how he handled the outbreak. During a debate on CBS13 when he was running for governor, Shah said, “If what we demand are leaders with unblemished records, then what we will get are leaders who have not been tested. I have been tested, I have learned, I am better for it, and that will make me a better governor for every single Mainer.”
Shah also responded directly to Duckworth’s comments, saying he was praised — including by Sen. Susan Collins — for how he handled the COVID-19 pandemic. He also reemphasized his willingness to answer questions in town halls across Maine.
Shah noted most Maine voters will likely not have a say in who gets the nomination, but said they still deserve to hear candidates’ thoughts in debates before taking on Collins.
