For those who are not yet actively following Boiler basketball

[Noodle]

I just realized that the Boiler's play Carroll College in tonight's exhibition. CC is coached by none other than Carson Cunningham! GBI has a great interview with him here: https://purdue.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1701318

And I just might have to download this book 21st Century Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Mystery at Rolling Dunes: http://www.amazon.com/21st-Century-Adventures-Huckleberry-Finn/dp/0990494500/ref=la_B002I4KBPK_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1415368058&sr=1-1

Just came out last week, and has 7 5-star reviews (and no others).

Carson Cunningham is one of my all-time favorite Boilers. He seemed like a pretty smart guy ("seemed" at the time, now I know he is), and he was a good ball player, which can be a rare combination. I always felt like he was naturally a better scorer than distributor, but Keady asked (demanded, is probably more accurate) him to be a classic PG. He got pretty good at it, and put the team first, which I also always appreciated. His last year when we weren't as good and didn't have as many scoring options, it seemed like Keady loosened the leash a bit, and he demonstrated his scoring ability a bit more.

Who wouldn't want "Dr. Cunningham" running the point for their team?
