Purdue and USC will wrap up the Big Ten Tournament day two in the fourth and final game on Thursday night.
The teams now know who they'll be playing against on Friday after Illinois' 106-94 victory over Iowa that saw Iowa's head coach, Fran McCaffery, ejected from the game in the second half after double technicals were assessed. The game at the time was a 9 point Illinois advantage and the four free throws gave Illinois a 13 point lead.
Iowa had spurts of offense, but never could stop the Fighting Illini and Illinois was able to hold on to advance to the third day of the Big Ten Tournament.
If Purdue were to beat USC, it will get a chance to avenge its final loss of the regular season. In Purdue-Illinois' only game of the season, at Illinois, the Fighting Illini beat Purdue 88-80.
With Wisconsin, Oregon, and Illinois winning, Purdue needs the win against USC to keep pace for seeding in the NCAA Tournament.
