It’s been 44 years since the Purdue Boilermakers last went to the Final Four. Lafayette, you deserve this. Enjoy the thrill of having your Boilermakers in the Final Four. I think Zach and the boys have two more games to play, against NC State and the winner between UConn and Alabama. Sometimes, the Final Four can be condescending, because teams get to it and have a let down. But not Zach. He and the Boilermakers will blow the whistle all the way to a national championship. There will be two banners proudly hanging at Mackey Arena, the Big Ten Championship, and an NCAA Championship, both in the same year. I think Fletcher Loyer will have a huge game against NC State, and Lance Jones will do the same thing. And Zach will be Zach. We will find out on Saturday at 5:09 Eastern if the Boilermakers get derailed or not. My prediction is Purdue 89, NC State 76.
