Purdue Seeks First Win Against Illinois State
8 sourcesUpdated Nov 9, 20261 min read
Purdue hosts Illinois State seeking its first win after opening the season 0-2, including a double-overtime loss to Valparaiso despite being a heavy favorite. The Boilermakers have been led by Daniel Jacobsen and C.J. Cox, while Illinois State brings a strong early scoring effort from Johnny Kinzinger and Malik Messina-Moore. Purdue is favored by about 16 points, but its upset loss and early struggles have raised questions about whether it can cover the spread; one betting preview instead favors the over, citing both teams’ scoring potential.

Purdue better tighten up their defense fast after that double overtime mess or Illinois State could hang around longer than expected.
