After winning their 7th Big Ten Tournament championship and advancing to the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament, the Boilers’ season is over. However, we have one final event planned for all members. The post-season party is scheduled for Tuesday, April 15 at 6:00 in the Kissell Center. We will have pizza and pop; and the team will be in attendance so you can get to know them a little bit better. Come congratulate them on a great season!

Also, we will hold elections for next year’s officers in conjunction with the party. If you are interested in running, please contact me by Sunday, April 13 with the position you would like to run for.

Thanks for …

Purdue once again won the Big Ten Tournament, defeating Illinois 58-56 on a game-winning shot by Kiki Freeman. With this, they secured a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Their first round game is this Sunday, March 23 at 7:00 p.m. As the 9 seed, they begin play against the 8 seed Utah at Mackey Arena. Should they win, they will likely face the 1 seed Tennessee on Tuesday night (time TBA), once again at Mackey.

If you are interested in attending, student all-session passes are $28 and student single-session passes are $11 (general admission are $38 and $18, respectively). The Gold Mine will be purchasing a block of tickets at the rate of $24/person (all-session pass). …

If anyone is interested in carpooling to Chicago, send me an e-mail (sandjeli@purdue.edu) and I’ll get everything organized. Be aware that this is Super Bowl Sunday. However, the game starts at 2:00 EST, so you should be back in plenty of time to see kick-off (although I can’t guarantee you’ll see the entire 5-hour pre-game show).
