Two of the Big Ten’s best are set for a clash that could shake up the conference race. Illinois rolls into West Lafayette on an eight-game tear, looking to prove they belong among the nation’s elite. Purdue, still stinging from a tough loss at UCLA, is back home where they rarely stumble—especially with Braden Smith running the show. Both teams are 7–1 in conference play, and with stars like Keaton Wagler and Trey Kaufman-Renn on the floor, every possession will matter. Who do you think takes this heavyweight battle? Let’s hear your predictions! #Sports #BigTen #CollegeBasketball
