Column: Consistently Inconsistent

In the immortal words of President George W. Bush, “Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”.....and yet here I am, getting fooled by another Illinois 2nd half comeback, even if this one fell just short on the road at #5 Purdue.
They outscored Purdue 45-29 in the second half, but that shouldn’t be surprising. Illinois has now outscored opponents by 98 points in the 2nd half of Big Ten games, and they have been outscored by 60 points in the opening stanzas. Everyone loves a comeback, and perhaps one of the greatest moments in Illini basketball history was the 2005 comeback against Arizona. But it can't happen every game.
