NCAA Tournament expansion is wholly unnecessary. It will deteriorate the competitive fabric/relevance of college basketball's regular season and dilute one of the best events in all of sports. It's no surprise that we got here, but I still hate it all the same.
Just let me vent.
"People say 'You've gone to a Final Four, you've won back-to-back Big Ten championships, you can go get a better player.' I'm like, 'No, we want to go get the same players that got us there.'"

#Boilermaker fans were left stunned after Purdue fell in historic fashion to FDU in the NCAA Tournament.
Our own @RobbieHummel gives his perspective to @ESPN_Schick and @BigAntHerron on where things went wrong for his old squad.
What legitimate power 5 contender goes on the road against a 3-4 team and gets blasted by 30 points? None. Quit acting like Brohm has a contender. He doesn’t. All bark, no bite.
