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.

(Edited at 6:22pm CT to update afternoon results)
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Illini got off to another cold start, but they almost negated it with one of the greatest comebacks in program history.
Down 51-27 with 18:00 left, the Illini rallied to tie the game at 67 with 1:17 left, but could manage just one field goal the rest of the way as 5th ranked Purdue secured the game at the free throw line to come away with the 76-71 win on Senior Day.
