WEST LAFAYETTE ? Unlike last year, Purdue isn?t entering the Big Ten tournament worrying about how many games it has to win to secure an NCAA berth.
The No. 17 Boilermakers already have that locked up.
But coach Matt Painter and his players said there?s still a lot to gain at Conseco Fieldhouse where Purdue (24-7) opens play tonight against Illinois (14-18), which defeated Penn State 64-63 on Thursday.
?We?re hungry,? senior guard Tarrance Crump said. ?We blew a game last week. The better team won that night. Ohio State outplayed us. So we feel like we have a chip on our shoulder. So we?ll come in with a focus level that we?re trying to take one game at a time and win.?

Yesterday went about as expected , maybe a mild upset with Iowa losing.
Anyone have any favorites today other than tOSU?
I can't see any of the lower seeded teams winning except for our Buckeyes. Minnesota was extremely lucky yesterday in coming back from a big deficit to beat Northwestern plus the Wildcats best player missed a one-on-one with less than a minute left in the game.

scUm/Iowa went about 10 minutes with neither one of them scoring a field goal.
