West Lafayette, Indiana. When a train blows its whistle, you better stop, look, and listen. Illinois tried to cross the tracks in West Lafayette last night, and they got run over by a train. This is not funny. The Boilers will blow whistles and the gates will come down. Eric Hunter, Jr and the Serbian assassin will rain threes on you, and they will make sure the bells and whistles keep going until you are dead.

Last night’s 84-68 win was a superb night for Boilermaker Nation. It proved to Illinois that this year’s Boilermakers are lethal. Jayden Ivey showed that he can be an engineer by scoring 26 points. JI, the native of South Bend, made Illinois suffer a death on the tracks like they will do in Ann Arbor on Thursday. The Boilermakers will trip the Wolverines for a second time this season, like they did to Brad Underwood and the Fighting Illini last night. Purdue will make sure the gates go down and by the time the Wolverines know what hit them, they will have no heartbeat left. Ding, ding, ding.
