With a lot of time off thanks to supreme planning by the conference, the bad taste in Purdue's mouth will hang around for a bit.
March being a Purdue dream or nightmare might be a question of motivation for The Forces of Good.
23-4 is nice, but two straight losses smarts a bit. Here's some perspective from Boilerdowd.
How ya feelin' after watching your Boilers lose in DC? In this quick 'cast, we give you our thoughts.
Purdue beat Illinois in the Boilers’ first game of the Big Ten Tournament, 89-58. Everything is incredible.
The first day of the men's Big 14 conference tournament in Indianapolis went as expected, with Illinois blowing out Minnesota 85-52 and Nebraska beating Rutgers 89-72. They will advance to meet Iowa and Wisconsin respectively as Day 2 action begins with the early session on BTN starting at noon; the late session will be shown on ESPN2 starting at 6:30.
The Boilers are one of a select few teams to be ranked all season long. A nice accomplishment, but now on to the postseason. (Which Aneesh doesn't care about.)
Shatori Walker-Kimbrough scored 19 points and was one of three Terrapins with 10 or more rebounds, earning Most Outstanding Player honors, as Maryland held Michigan State to a tournament-final record-low 44 points, winning their second straight Big 14 tournament 60-44 Sunday in Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
In the Big 14 semifinals on Saturday, Maryland and Michigan State advanced with ease, setting up a rematch almost exactly a month after their first meeting, won by Maryland 85-76 in College Park. Northwestern's Cinderella run ended after three wins; they and Ohio State are left to wait for the WNIT and NCAA tournament, respectively.
Day 3 of conference tournament play featured one surprise, as Northwestern won their third game in three days without leading scorer Maggie Lyon, and one close finish, as a potential game-tying three from April Wilson was off the mark and a Bree Horrocks putback left the Boilers one point short in a 65-64 loss to Michigan State.
