Michigan State Needs to Fix Defensive Lapses to Become Elite

By

This what #9 Michigan State has given up in scoring in their four losses: 67 to North Carolina, 74 to Duke, 81 to Northwestern, 6o to Michigan. In their 16 wins, they've held everyone under 70 with the exception of Lehigh; a game they won 90-81. The losses to the Wolverines and Tar Heels were much more on the offense than the D, but the pattern is still obvious: when the … [Read more...] about Michigan State Needs to Fix Defensive Lapses to Become Elite

Mich St Fans Get Repulsive; Draymond Tips Ball into Purdue Goal

Michigan State may have absolutely slaughtered Purdue 83-58 yesterday, but the battle between the two traditional Big Ten powers still had some embarrassing, and down-right dark moments in the lop-sided win. Spartans leader (in scoring, rebounding and emotion) Draymond Green accidentally stuffed the ball home for Purdue (watch video after the jump).

Purdue “Boiler Up” Rap Video Makes Vanilla Ice look Like Eminem

By

Wow this is bad! How did the Purdue mascot and cheerleaders sign on to be in this giant size piece of crapola? Given a choice between watching/listening to this again and getting a cold sore, I might be leaning towards the cold sore. You know something is beyond terrible when it has lots of cheerleaders in it, yet I have no interest in seeing it again. … [Read more...] about Purdue “Boiler Up” Rap Video Makes Vanilla Ice look Like Eminem

Does the Purdue Boilermakers 7-1 Start Surprise You?

By

As the Big Ten beat the ACC for the third straight time in the annual challenge, we learned the league could be stronger than we actually thought. Or at least top to bottom the depth/talent of the league is better than we expected. Or the ACC is just really down; as the Midwest beat the Atlantic Coast by it's most comfortable margin ever. I did not see that coming at all; … [Read more...] about Does the Purdue Boilermakers 7-1 Start Surprise You?

Purdue Boilermakers Have Top 15 Recruiting Class

Mavericks Brian Cardinal Gets Internship with Purdue Basketball

By

Member of the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks and former Boilermakers star Brian Cardinal joined the Purdue athletics staff as an athletics administration intern.

Cardinal’s internship will include roles with the John Purdue … [Read more...] about Mavericks Brian Cardinal Gets Internship with Purdue Basketball
