B1G tournament time is OUR TIME. After a slow start, Purdue ramped up the defense and revved up the offense to take their first game in the tournament on Thursday, 70-59.
To say this was a statement game is an understatement. Purdue was sitting on the bubble of making it into the NCAA tournament, with Charlie Creme picking the Boilers as squeaking into the tournament as a 10 seed in his latest bracketology. Well, whatever you may think of Coach Versyp and our Lady Boilers, they always come to play in the B1G tournament. Of course it doesn't hurt to have it at Banker's Life Fieldhouse, as close to a home game as we could get.
