The Big Ten Tournament: A History
Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too. - Marcus Aurelius When the first Big Ten Tournament took place in 1998, it left the Pac-10 and the Ivy League as the only conferences that still gave the automatic bid to the regular season...
Champions once again
I was a sophomore in high school the last time Purdue won a men's basketball championship of any kind (unless you count the Great Alaska Shootout from 2003-04). That was the third of three straight Big Ten titles, but the program with the most such titles had been in a drought...
Big Ten Hoops Day 5K
Great event this morning. Purdue was very well represented with students and alumni racing. The most notable group was a cadre of about six to eight Paint Crew member running in Wigs and gold and black top hats. I passed one of them going down Ohio street in about mile 2, so good times were had by...

Illini play best game of their season, advance to face Purdue
The way the Illini beat Michigan yesterday made me realize that I had underestimated this team. Without their best defensive player, the team defense of the Illini stepped up to hold Manny Harris to only 9 points, and Sims to 15. Considering that the two combined for 45 against Iowa the day before,...
Badgers lose most predictable game ever
This will be a short recap today. Let's take a look back at my prediction: Friday's quarterfinal against Ohio State is going to be a close game and it's probably going to be one in which the Badgers hold a late lead. Unfortunately they've given up those leads way too many times this season and...

...And That Happened.
So, uh... 75-43. Season over. That happened. Everything I said about Iowa being better with Jake Kelly at the point because the numbers back it up or something? HAHA DISREGARD ENTIRELY.
5th Quarter Consensus: Turner, Buckeyes will get the best of Bucky in Indy
This prediction was already given away in our final Big Ten Tournament bracket, but I'm not liking Wisconsin's chances Friday against Ohio State. Why? Simply because Wisconsin doesn't have a go-to guy. The worst part about that reality is that Ohio State does. His name is Evan Turner and he...
Penn State Advances - Purdue Awaits
Well that went about as well as could be expected. Penn State jumped out to an early lead against the Indiana Hoosiers, and then they put their foot on the back of their neck and didn't let them get up. Penn State held a comfortable 25 point lead late in the game allowing Battle and Cornley to...
