Illinois coach Brad Underwood on facing top-ranked Purdue and reigning national player of the year Zach Edey: "It’s a different animal, in terms of Purdue ... “It’s such a unique situation to have a reigning national player of the year return. He’s probably more dominant than he was last year, in my opinion.”
