Purdue Wins, 90-79
WASHINGTON -- Despite Curtis Jerrells' 27 points, Purdue wins easily, 90-79, in a game that was not as close as the score indicates. I'll try and get back with you later with some stats, quotes, and closing thoughts.
Grin and Bear It
WASHINGTON -- Curtis Jerrells: good. The rest of Baylor: Not that great.
Purdue Fans: They Don't Like the Ref
WASHINGTON -- The same woman donning a Purdue No. 3 jersey is letting the refs have it over what she perceives is some one-sided officiating.
Baylor Not Quite Dunn
WASHINGTON -- Baylor's LaceDarius (not a typo) Dunn doesn't want to go quietly.
Kramer On Both End
WASHINGTON -- Chris Kramer just blocked a Baylor shot at one end, ran the break, got an offensive rebound, and scored the putback.
Purdue Fans
WASHINGTON -- With Purdue up 16, it's time to take a look at their fans.
WASHINGTON -- I haven't seen any of the games at the other sites, but this half by Purdue had to be the most impressive half of basketball thus far in the 2008 tournament.
Purdue Approaches Boiling Point
WASHINGTON -- First of all, I realized the headline I gave this entry is a pretty forced PUN. I fully intend to make more of them whenever possible. That aside, Purdue cannot, will not miss.
Purdue Making Early Noises
WASHINGTON -- Welcome back to Verizon Center. The problem with these NCAA first round sites is that to get four games in in one day, the second game of a session and the interviews from the first game basically coincide. But i;m finally back with the Boilermakers leading by 10 with about 10 minutes to go in the first half.

NCAA Tournament Preview: Washington
Verizon Center has seen its fair share of memorable college basketball games the last few years. It has seen Georgetown upset No. 1 Duke in January 2006, the ultimate Cinderella, George Mason, take down mighty Connecticut later that spring, and Roy Hibbert beat those Huskies on an unexpected three pointer just a couple months ago. With the eight teams the NCAA has sent to Verizon for the first weekend of this year's tournament, there is a good chance that the District is one again the site of a few classics.
