Illini Use Big Second Half To Top Purdue

Dee Brown made sure that all Purdue gave No. 1 Illinois was a scare. Brown scored all 14 of his points in the second half to lead the Illini to a 68-59 victory over Purdue on Saturday. Trailing at halftime for the first time this season, the Illini opened the second half with a 23-6 run to take control. Brown hit three 3-pointers during the surge, the last giving Illinois a 56-45 lead with just over nine minutes to play.
