Nearly two weeks ago, Purdue's prospects for a long March Madness run looked poor, and Illinois' appeared worse.
Matt Painter's Purdue crew was suffering through the program's first four-game losing streak in five years. Meanwhile, Brad Underwood's bunch was dealing with national ridicule after taking a 43-point beatdown from Duke -- the largest loss in Illinois' 120-year history.
But look at what a fabulous fortnight can do.
As the 18th-ranked Boilermakers (21-9, 13-6) and the Illini (19-11, 11-8) prepare for their Big Ten Conference regular-season finale Friday night in Champaign, Ill., both squads have regained the swagger necessary to make some amazing March memories.
Illinois worked out its anger over the 110-67 loss to Duke on Feb. 22 at Madison Square Garden by burying Iowa and then-No. 15 Michigan by 20 points apiece.
The Boilermakers are tied with Wisconsin and Maryland for third place in the league. Illinois is tied with Oregon for seventh place.
The Big Ten tournament will take place March 12-16 in Indianapolis.
