Boiler Up!!! As a big Purdue fan, it was good to see Purdue kick ass in the Big Ten tourney last weekend and come out with it's first ever Big Ten Championship since the tourney has begun. This was pretty exciting stuff. First of all, they beat Penn State pretty easily and really boosted the team's self esteem as the tournament continued. And it was good to see IU lose in the first round and finish the season with only one conference win! Sorry to all you IU fans but you know how it is, us Boilermakers love it when we're winning and you're losing! Next, it was really good to see the Boilers beat Illinois after they lost to them twice in the regular season! Although, the first lost to them was in overtime and they just kind of broke down at the end of the game and the second loss was at Illinois and without our main man Robbie Hummel. So it was definitely good to see the Boilers whoop on the Illini. Finally, the Boilers came across the tough Ohio State team who knocked off Michigan State. This was a very intense game but the Boilers play hard the whole game and came out with a great victory! It was good to see the team that excited!
As NCAA tourney gets underway, as well as all the other Boilermaker fans, I was proud to see that we got a #5 seed in the tournament. I don't think we should have any trouble against Northern Iowa. We most likely will be playing a tough Washington team, but I still have faith in our team and have them winning and going on to play against the #1 seed UConn! I'm not so sure here as some people have UConn as a potential NCAA champ, but if we can get by the Huskies, then we definitely have a shot at the final four! This is our time now!
Purdue plays on Thursday at 2:30 and I'm sure I will be watching the game and cheering on the Boilers in the first round!
Also, I'm going to be cheering for the Butler Bulldogs as they are the only other team from Indiana in the big dance. Also because of Gordon Hayward! He is one of the best freshman in the country and I have the honor of saying I once played with him a long time ago! He has great potential in the future! Although, he definitely kicked my ass at basketball back then and he still can now! The Bulldogs drew a tough LSU team in the first round, but I will still be cheering them on! I believe they play at 12:20 on Thursday!
With March Madness finally underway, they next few weeks are going to be basketball, basketball, basketball for me!
