What are some of the things the guys thought were better than others against the Wildcats? Did the win, over a 15-seeded team playing its third game in three nights, "cure" everything that was a concern, or was it a case of Northwestern being so overmatched that Purdue HAD to perform as they did?

How does their performance prepare them for the path to the championship game on Sunday?

Sam & Dustin Schutte, filling in for Grant the All-American, are recapping the Boilermakers' poor showing on Sunday in Columbus, against Ohio State.

The Buckeyes grabbed control midway through the first half and never relinquished the lead the rest of the way.

What does Purdue need to do to keep from falling to Ohio St. a third straight year?

It's a PACKED show! ENJOY!
