Just curious-what "grade" of sticks does this involve? I'm not saying I would send dog rockets if I lost, but curious if something like an Oliva V would be like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

No specifics. Last year was a good mix of everything I think.


No Cremosas.

And nothing with Purdue Pete on it.

That would be the best sticks in the whole bunch. LOL

I bought final four tickets, but without Hummel, I'm almost certain to be selling them now. Such a shame...

After the Minnesota game, I imagine there is no joy in Boilermakertown.

Just one game and in particular and it just boils down to the fact that you can't possibly shoot that bad if you ever tried again. I think they'll win the first 2 games, but we just won't have enough to match up with Duke. Maybe I'll get lucky and Louisville will take them out before we meet up.

It is scary how much different Purdue is without Hummel. If he were healthy today, I'd say they're a favorite for the final four in a LOT of brackets.

I would agree. Hummel reminds of Brian Cardinal, only better shooter. A guy we Hoosiers love to hate.

Pretty much

And to make it all worse I'm from Minnesota, so I have to deal with a lot of harassing while back in town for break.

Sadly, Indianapolis is full of Loosier fans (that after a 10 win season nonetheless) treat Hummel's ACL tear and Purdue getting blown out by Minnesota as the biggest highlights of their entire season.
