It’s February, Purdue is 22-1, and the last 3 games might be the best they’ve played all season. Purdue is capable of winning the national championship. Doesn’t mean they will, but the point is, Boiler Nation, keep enjoying this ride. This team is special this season 💛

Bill Walton just said: “Purdue loses to Indiana and nothing happens. Arizona loses to Stanford and they fall off the 1-line. Something is wrong with that.” Bill… losing to Stanford is a lot worse than losing a rivalry at assembly hall to a ranked team.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Friday night’s game between # 1 Purdue and # 9 Illinois will be the first all top-10 game at Mackey Arena since January 1st, 2010 when # 4 Purdue beat # 6 West Virginia 77-62. Should hopefully be as good of an atmosphere as a break game can get

Purdue and Illinois run B10 basketball until proven otherwise. Combining for 6 of the 8 B10 titles the last 4 seasons. * Illinois probably should’ve had a hand in the 2021 regular season title * Purdue very easily could’ve had a hand in the 2022 regular season title

Former Purdue head coach Gene Keady said that to win at least a share of the big ten championship, you need to do the following to go 15-5: A) win all your home games B) split your road games C) lose a home game, steal a road game. Purdue will be hard to beat at Mackey

Very disappointing to hear of the behavior from students this morning at Mackey arena. Purdue athletics should have been more prepared but the students are 100% at fault here. Pushing, shoving, rushing to the front and knocking people down… be better Paint Crew students.
