BIG 10 CHAMPS!

*

Last week Lee's mom called to offer us tickets to the Big 10 Championship game down in Indy on Sunday. Going to this game is a bit of a gamble... Purdue might have gotten beat, and then we would be driving all the way down to Indy to watch two teams we don't give a crap about. But, Lee & I took the gamble and it paid off!

Purdue beat Penn State and Illinois to get into the championship game! This was the first time that Purdue had made it to the Big 10 Championship game since they started having the tournament in 1998.

AND, we were happy to have Ohio State beat Michigan State to join Purdue in the finals!

The first half of the game was not pretty. Purdue wasn't down by a ton, but they were playing pretty crappy. Going into halftime, I was really dreading watching a Boilermaker loss...

But, a different team came out of the lockeroom after halftime. Boilers turned the game around and ended up winning 65-61. Boiler UP!

Now we are onto the #5 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Hopefully Purdue can keep their momentum from the Big 10 Tourney!!! Go Boilers!
