Purdue Women Get #9 Seed

PrintThis is just a quick update to say that the women's team has returned the NCAA Tournament after a one year absence. That's not bad for a team that had its starting point guard for not even half a game and another starter that nearly died from a serious bacterial infection. The lady Boilers are the #9 seed in the Philadelphia region against Kansas State. They will play on Sunday at 2:30 in Storrs, CT.
With that comes the bad news. Purdue playing in Storrs means that the number 1 seed is, you guessed it, the all-powerful Connecticut Huskies. That means we can expect Purdue to maybe win one game before becoming a speed bump for the next Huskies Championship. It's hard to see them losing to a weakened Purdue when they are thumping top 5 teams by 30 points. Maybe we can hope for a case of food poisoning.
At least we'll be on their championship shirts when they list the scores.

I watched tonight's selection show
and at first was thrilled for the team getting a 9 seed. but then I noticed their pod. It was a great year for a team that was hammered with adversity. The only thing that could make it better would be dispatching UConn with some sort of magical voodoo basketball on Tuesday. Even if they don’t make it farther than that, they would be more memorable than the Stanford teams that have handed UConn their last two losses.
To your call once more we rally....
Stealing my lunch here....
A fuller write-up will be up tomorrow. Spring break means I have time for these things now.

"9:30"

lol lots of optimism…if the mens team had a similar draw you’d be talking about how Carroll and Terone are keys to the game
optimism
No offense but there hasn’t been a men’s team like the UCONN women’s team since Johnny Wooden’s UCLA teams.

Exactly
You’re talking about a team that has lost exactly once in the last four years and regularly annihilates top 5 teams by 30.

Yeah, it's all about the food poisoning.
They sound like Mount Union in D-III football.
