Déjà vu all over again … St. Patrick’s Day Weekend 1988

[Born Boiler]

Top-seeded Purdue blasted past 16th-seeded Farleigh Dickinson 94-79 on St. Patrick’s Day at Notre Dame, then routed eighth-seeded Memphis 100-73 to reach the NCAA’s 1988 Sweet Sixteen.

The script got flipped the next week in the Silverdome, where Purdue blew up late and lost to Kansas State 73-70 -- the same team Purdue had beaten three months earlier by 101-72.

Thirty-five years later, Purdue’s NCAA lineup could be Farleigh Dickinson, Memphis and, if we get there, Duke … a 75-56 victim from November.

Is the NCAA trying to get cute?

FDU’s Coach talking trash a bit, look, I got no problem with telling your team you can win the next game, however, telling Purdue you want them to hear it is a little much, hope that fires the Boilers up on Friday.
