Purdue advanced to the Sweet Sixteen, but I’m still going to be sick.

The Big Ten has two Sweet 16 teams out of 18 bids over the last two years, with Purdue still to play.

And at the moment, those two Sweet 16 berths are from Michigan.

I said what I said, and I 100% stand behind it.

As always, MB is correct. However, I will add that I have some 2nd half adjustment concerns that have been a regular issue for the Bucks. I don’t know if that’s Holtmann or the players, but it’s concerning.

Otherwise, Holtmann is a good coach & great man. He will break through. https://t.co/tOqTtfoaZu
