What a night last night. Even as I was driving home from West Lafayette and the high winds blowing across U.S. 52 threatened to have my car go tumbling into a cornfield I was giddy. Any time you win a Big Ten championship at Purdue it is a big deal. Among all sports we now only have 72 of them, till trailing the University of Chicago by one. In men’s basketball, however, we’re all alone on top with 23.
It is the first Big Ten championship in ANY sport for Purdue since women’s golf in 2013.
