Well, fittingly on Top Gun night, Maverick Morgan has been best thing for Illinois. 10 pts now after keeping possession alive w/ O board.
— Nathan Baird (@nbairdjc) January 18, 2017
Mav with a bucket to start the second half. He's got 10, his fifth straight game in double-figures & 8th time in the last 9 games. #Illini pic.twitter.com/OoZL2tTKjv

Purdue largest lead after Swanigan 3. Groce berating ref.
— Jeremy Werner (@JWernerScout) January 18, 2017
53-36 with 16:33 left
The only question left in this game is whether Groce will openly pine for Purdue's players during his post-game presser. #Illini #Weberizing
