Congratulations to my Purdue Boilermakers of being one of the two 2019 Big 10 regular season co-champions!!!!!  It wasn’t always pretty, but Purdue managed to stop a few Wildcat runs in the second half and won at Northwestern 70-57.

The Boilermakers have now won 24 Big 10 regular season championships, the most of any of the Big 10 teams!!!!

The BTN staff mentioned something that might make this even more incredible.  They mentioned that this team has managed to win the Big 10 championship with no recruits who were ranked higher than 60th.  These players understand their roles and play hard, and that effort and the development that they have shown under Matt Painter is a great success story that you can win in college basketball without needing to get 1-and-done stars.

Great job Boilermakers!!!!!!!   BOILER UP!!!!!!!
