I know they are only playing the lowly Hoosiers, but Ohio State is scary. They don't miss from deep, Sullinger is an animal, and they move the ball. Coach Painter is going to have to come up with something special to prepare our boys for battle against these guys. From the games I have seen where Duke has participated, I have no idea how ESPN's beloved Dukies are above the Buckeyes. Boilerup! and a happy new year

Has anyone else shed a tear because of this?

 nope aint happenin :(...

Now, I'm a young fellow. In my 16 years on this planet I have seen some things in sports people can only dream of. I entered a world dominated by the Bulls, the Sox '05 run that just gives me the chills whenever I think about it, Blackhawks are all over Olympic ice, and heck even a screwed up franchise like the Bears almost got a title. God has been good to Chicago sports in my lifetime. Hummel's injury was devastating. This was about as bad, to me, as Kyle Orton's senior year when they played Wisconsin and Orton got flipped, fumbled, and taken to the house.

I know that nobody outside of Purdue's fan base would agree with that.

With his 20 ppg, 6 apg, and 9 rpg he has shown he is the best player in the Big Ten but is he the most valuable?

My Feb. 25 was supposed to be a good day... Purdue barely escaped the night before but the question of whether robbie's knee still floated in my mind. I prayed for just a sprain, but in 7th period chemistry I recieved a text from my dad with news nobody wants to hear. It read like this "Happy 16th birthday and by the way, on The Score they just said Robbie has a torn acl". I was shocked. It looked like the Final Four dream is all but over. It got me thinking, who can replace him? Can they learn how to play without one of the best players in the conference and maybe even the nation?
