A Big Ten Showdown

“It’s rockin in here” – Brent
Brent was right, Super Tuesday did not disappoint. Brent’s introduction of Erin Andrews before the game even started gave it away that he was not sober tonight. Great announcing performance by Brent, he was back to his old drunken self. Brent was obsessed with Purdue and pretty much said Robbie Hummel should be the first pick in the NBA draft, but was creepily obsessed with every movement Tom Izzo made. He even sent Erin out to stalk Tom Izzo for him and report back on everything he said during timeouts.

“One and done” – Brent’s new catchphrase

“Coast to coast, easy deuce” - Steve

Brent also thinks it is his duty to advertise Valentine’s Day.

Steve knows what it would look like if 2 water buffaloes fought in the paint.

Watching this game got me thinking about the worst college basketball courts (just the court, not the arena) because Purdue’s is definitely one of them, along with Vanderbilt's and Minnesota’s courts.
To Vanderbilt: Why do you have the benches at the baseline? What purpose does that serve? I would think it makes life more difficult for the teams. Have you ever wondered why no other school has that set up?
To Purdue and Minnesota: Why do your courts need to be raised above the ground? Doesn’t that seem dangerous? Purdue’s entire court is not raised above the ground technically, the benches and score table are in a sort of pit and the benches are so far away from the actual court. I don’t get it.

Final Score: #9 Michigan State: 54, #23 Purdue: 60

Moral of the game: Purdue is good, at least at this moment in time.
