Purdue and Michigan State face off tonight at Mackey Arena. The Boilers finally got some national attention by getting ranked on both polls this week, 19 on the AP and 23 on the Coaches Poll. They've been playing some fantastic basketball. Great defense. Great shooting. Great team play. They've been coming up big at the end of games. Huge win AT Wisconsin to give Bo Ryan his 3rd home loss in his tenure.
The Boilers have a tough schedule down the stretch with MSU tonight, IU next week, and OSU to finish up the regular season. I could have never guessed that this group of basically freshmand and sophomores could be in this position this late in the season.
Let's see what they do tonight? Let's see who's going to step up? Let's see if they can keep this thing going!!
There's alot of excitement surrounding this program in the present and the future. And much of the reason is Matt Painter. He's done an amazing job getting these guys to play as a team, he's learned how to win the close games, and he's done a great job getting prepared for each contest.
7 tonight on ESPN, which is probably a good thing, for once the whole country will be able to see how good of a team the Boilers are this season. Mackey will be rocking!! Wish I could be there!
