Purdue hosts Ball State tonight and hopefully in a few hours we'll all feel a little better after winning a basketball game. if not, we're all going to feel worse for losing to one of the worst teams in the state of Indiana. I am in attendance for this one in section 103 next to what would be the Paint Crew if students were on campus.

The biggest thing we need to see tonight is if someone will be able to hit a shot. Rapheal Davis finished the Notre Dame game with a hot hand, so it will be interesting to see his minutes tonight.
