Boilers Trounce HawkeyesThe Purdue Boilermakers stamped their ticket to the big dance with a dominating 74-55 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes in the 4/5 seed quarterfinal matchup in the Big Ten Tournament in Chicago today.
Carl Landry led the Boilers, as he's been stoicly doing all season, with twenty points and 11 boards. Carl looked like he wasn't going to give the Hawkeyes a chance to hang around in this game and the Hawkeyes did indeed look overmatched and out of sorts.
Truth is, this Iowa squad has some considerable talent but never seemed to be able to string together consistent outings. Chalk it up to the overrated Steve Alford, who has yet to do anything significant at Iowa, or credit it to the up-and-coming Matt Painter-led Purdue squad. Sure, the Boilers have no inside presence to speak of, but if Landry plays this way in future games this month, the Boilers can hang with almost anybody.
Next up for Purdue is the top-ranked team in the country, Ohio State, in tomorrow's semifinal matchup.
As for the NCAA Tourney, ESPN now has Purdue in the tournament as an 11-seed and facing Virginia, of all teams, a team they beat earlier this season. Let me just say now that there is absolutely ZERO chance of Purdue playing a team they've already played this year in the first round of the NCAA tournament. It just doesn't happen.
But it's irrelevant. The Boilers are going and that's what matters.
And it feels gooooooood.

Good stuff...I'm looking forward to seeing if they can make it interesting tomorrow.
Boiler up!
The best part of the game (besides any Erin Andrews sightings) was when Steve Lavin referred to Crump as both a "speed deamon" and a "speed merchant" in the same sentence. Worst part of the game: the officials.
I've got to say the second best part of the game was Carl Landry's put-back dunk in the 2nd half.
The all-time best moment of the game was Landry sticking the 360 landing following that dunk.
Degree of difficulty. 6.4
How about SI.com's Stewart Mandel who has the Boilers out as of last night even though he has freaking Illinois in. (as well as Xavier, Drexel and Stanford) What an unbelievable idiot! Purdue has one more win on the season and only one more conference loss than Indiana and Indiana's a lock. This just proves the majority of sports writers are bafflingly stupid.
Yeah, IU should be out at this point. They lost last night to Illinois, who ESPN has been saying all day is still on the bubble and BEHIND Purdue. Ridiculous.
