Illini pull off a very hard-fought win at Purdue, winning 71-67 in OT. They survived a pretty large foul line discrepancy in regulation (25-3), including a very, very tough call with 1.8 seconds and a one point lead. But Johnson from Purdue - who was damn tough - missed the second shot.
Illinois is so much more efficient offensively this year as compared to the last three seasons. Even Dee Brown's last season had a little too much standing around by the other guys. This team has numerous guys who are willing to share the ball and take a shot within the flow of the offense, regardless of whether it is the first or last five minutes of the game.
