Guys, this is personal. This game provides me with both a chance at redemption and a delicious baked good.
As my ardent followers know, I also write for Hammer and Rails (the Purdue SB Nation blog). Last year, my Boilermakers met up with the Jayhawks in the Sweet 16. What started as a basketball game ended in a massacre of Clemson vs USCe proportions. Kansas simply couldn’t miss. They were hitting shots I would be embarrassed to try to pull off in a game of H-O-R-S-E. Frank Mason was open and firing away as soon he crossed half court, and if by some miracle of science, he missed, Josh Jackson was there to collect the offense board.
