Not much is going on in a week where Purdue doesn't have a game. The women's basketball team suffered a flat-out embarrassing loss to Indiana in Bloomington last night, surrendering the Barn Burner Trophy for the first time since 1604 (approximately). Alex will likely have the weekend baseball preview up later, which sees Purdue travel to Mississippi State to face the No. 5 Bulldogs twice and a very good Samford team twice. This weekend, plus a three-game set at Samford (who was a runner-up in the Tallahassee Regional last year) will likely make or break Purdue's NCAA at large chances.
Also, I want to remind you that TOMORROW is the deadline to order your tickets to see Carl Landry play the Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse next Tuesday. The only way to do the pregame meet n' greet is to order through this link. The password is again, Purdue.
