Love this team!! Purdue will NEVER forget you Zach!

Long long time IU fan, aaand, I still am. Anyway, was never a Purdue hater, nor a fan, but I’m happy for all those Purdue grad/ fans who I’ve known and have built great relationships over the thirty odd years in a niche industry of “traffic”. Here’s hoping Boilers brings a Mens BB NCAA title back to Indiana. The state. Been way too long. And Let’s make it a sweep. GO ISU Sycamores!

[@andyswitzer6552]

such a nice thing to say from an IU fan. I appreciate the brotherhood

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

Thanks for your kind wishes. Hope my Boilers can bring home the trophy.

Class Act! I’m a Purdue fan, and it’s awesome that we got this number one seed so we could stay close enough to home so we could fill the stands! Beautiful! Congrats Boilers!

Been a Boiler fan since about 1959, a graduate in 1970, so I got to be at Purdue for their final game appearance against UCLA, which didn't go well, so this is a great time for Boiler fans, both young and old and maybe this time we get the championship! GO BOILERS!

Been a Tar Heel fan since 1982 and have gotten to see an astronomical number of Final Fours and witnessed 5 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.

[@yeldesi9449]

it's about Purdue! I'm a Boiler! It's nice to win some games, even important games, but I'm always a Boiler! Hammer Down Boilers!

[@JTH-hm8ew]

What kind of mediocre slogan is that? A mediocre slogan for an historical mediocre program.

[@NeedofBeingVersed]

@@JTH-hm8ewYou’re not a mediocre girl. You’re a good little lady.

[@hgerrard2745]

Purdue BB is filled with good players & coaches, but one maN makes Purdue special and that is ZACH EDEY. He's a man among boys.

[@hgerrard2745]

Without Zach is just another sweet 16 team. With Zach they will compete for the National Championship.

[@JTH-hm8ew]

Not this year. UCONN is to dominant.

[@hgerrard2745]

@@JTH-hm8ew yeah, thats like your opinion man,, it wasn't but a few weeks ago Creighton beat uconn 86 to 66 so they aren't that good.
