We all know about Purdue\u2019s history in March. I also was so disappointed about losing to Wisconsin that I completely forgot to congratulate Zach Edey on breaking the Purdue record for career points. He passed Rick Mount\u2019s record of 2,323 points from 1967-1979. Currently, Edey has 2,339 career points – so congratulations on that achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, I am sure that if you ask Edey, there is only one prize that he is interested in – the NCAA National Championship. So that brings us to the nervousness of the Lunatic – as I created my imaginary bracket prediction, there is something that caught my eye as my Boilers likely will be a 1 seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the 6 teams I had as a 16 seed was none other than St. Peter\u2019s. So the Lunatic is nervously hoping that after our well documented bad luck against schools from New Jersey, that we don\u2019t find a re-match against the double digit seed that ended our Sweet 16 two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please Selection Committee- be kind to my Boilers. Just 10 more minutes – the Lunatic is ready (well as ready as he is going to be).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
