Matt Painter is undefeated in the Final Four - Purdue dispatches with #11 NC State in an ugly, despite a poor Braden Smith game and a handful of turnovers. The redemption journey is nearly complete, and it's real: Zach Edey swept every Player of the Year award, Purdue won the Big Ten, and our Boilermakers are playing for a National Championship on Monday night - underdogs for the first time all year against Danny Hurley's dominant UConn Huskies.

Enjoy it, this is a literal once-in-a-lifetime moment we get to experience: the first modern Championship Game appearance by our school. Let's enjoy this together.
