Coach Groce and the Fighting Illini Basketball team are in must-win mode after losing a tough game against Indiana State last Sunday.  The team takes on the Purdue Boilermakers at the State Farm Center in Champaign tonight.  Purdue always put up a good fight against Illinois and Coach Matt Painter and the Boilermakers could use a solid win right now.  It’s going to be a great match-up, as Illinois has a current record of 12-7 and Purdue is right behind them at 11-7.  98.9 WJEZ is the home for Illini hoops; catch all the action tonight at 8:00pm!
