The First Look
Sweet No. 23
Purdue fans will never tire looking at this image of Purdue's
trophy celebration moments after disposing of rival Indiana to
claim the school's league-leading 23rd Big Ten title. This one
was a history-maker of sorts as it not only clinched the title
but allowed Purdue to do something it has never done
in the modern era of its basketball program: Claim a
league crown with a win over IU. Making it even sweeter?
The fact that it also gave the Boilermaker program one
more league crown than the Hoosiers. Some fans
ears are still ringing after the deafening noise of the
Feb. 28 evening.
