He y’all, I teased this yesterday, and now that I’ve managed to chop my way through the legal jungle, it’s time to unveil the Hammer and Rails exclusive prizes. Like the TBT, this is a winner take all bracket challenge.

Rules

Official Rules (this is what I’ve been waiting for)

2. Fill out your bracket before tip of the opening game.
3. Hope your teams win.

You have to be a member of Hammer and Rails to win the prizes. If you’re not, it takes less than 2 minutes to join our illustrious organization. As an added membership bonus, after 24 hours, you will have the ability to post on comments on my articles, and let me know how little I know about Purdue sports.

Why only 5 Purdue Players?

Honestly, I have no idea. Haas was on the team last year and AJ Hammons was in uniform but didn’t play. At the same time, you’re not going to get many more opportunities to see Robbie and Lew Jack play basketball. We’re going to need to enjoy this for what it is, and not be upset about what it isn’t.

Personally, I think this years squad is better than last years squad. I’ll be covering this tournament for the duration, with regular updates as things progress.
