Around SBN: Stan Van Gundy Fired As Head Coach Of The Magic

We interrupt this program...

Fantastic win by the Boilers last night. We played like the team I know we can be. It's about time.

No formal review this morning, however. I have business to attend to.

The Kats are playing the Giants today at noon in Marion. That is where I am.

Kats_medium Today we fight for the honor of the Kats...

 

I am not rational about this.

I have waited exactly 11 years for this day, since March 13, 1998 when they ended my senior year and my childhood dream of a state championship on our floor, the happiest place on earth for me.

This is the first chance we have played them on their floor in tournament play since then.

It is time to return the favor.

The day will only be made made better if we beat the Illini in the semifinals, but that is secondary to today's noon contest.

I will comment via open thread as appropriate, to be posted around tipoff.

Really?

A high school game gets priority on a Purdue blog? You couldn’t have had a “guest” blogger review the game? With all due respect, this isn’t exactly how you build up your readership.

wow guy

TMill has always been keen on following HS basketball, from waaaaaaay back when he was on Off the Tracks. Trust me, TMill has the commitment and obsession that is needed by all college bloggers, his readership will do just fine.

Yeah, maybe I'm spoiled by other SBNation blogs....

….and I apologize for my bluntness. I just had high hopes for a Purdue blog (finally) on SBNation and so far, there’s been little interaction between a handful of fans and the updates aren’t as often as I’m used to on blogs like BleedCubbieBlue.

No disrespect intended to TMill. My expectations just tend to run a little high.

It high school basketball

In Indiana. In March. You get a pass for posting about your team.

That said, Al at BCB definitely spoils us.

OSU is beating MSU and (more imporatantly) Hightower is reffing the game meaning that he won’t be calling the Purdue game this afternoon. The tournament is setting up very well for us.

My Condolences

On what looks like a tough loss.

On the subject of HS Basketball

North Montgomery, Lawrence North and Franklin Central all won this morning. I don’t have any information on how the Purdue recruits did (D.J. Bird, Jeff Robinson and Patrick Bade) played, but it is nice to see them advancing.

LN and Franklin Central play each other tonight so that will knock one recruit out. North Mont has Greensburg tonight.

Did played?

Did I really just type that? I promise I don’t actually talk like that. Sometimes grammar is hard.

i haven't heard how the three recruits did today. I am debating heading to hinkle

tonight to see bade vs. Robinson. I covered Byrd’s sectional final last week and did a feature on him.

Kokomo lost a tough one today 59-56. They lead most of the way too. I will be around for the Illinois game today.
