Purdue and IU continue playing in March Madness
Two Indiana teams will be continuing their basketball season with games in the NCAA and NIT tournaments.
Number 1 seed Purdue was favored to win the Big Ten Tournaments but was put out in the second round by Michigan in a 74 – 70 loss.
The Boilermakers will face the Vermont Catamounts on Thursday, March 16 with the tip off 7:27 PM at the Harris Bradley Center.
WSLM 1220 AM will be carrying the game with the pre-game coming on at 6:27p followed by the tip off at 7:27p.
Indiana University was a Number 10 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and beat Iowa 95-73 but fell in the semi-final round to Wisconsin, 70-60.
INDOT readies for late winter storm
Preparations are now underway for winter weather expected to hit Indiana late tonight and Monday. The Indiana Department of Transportation reminds motorists to be cautious if traveling in what could be hazardous conditions.
INDOT is monitoring several weather forecasts, and the latest information from the National Weather Service predicts snow over the next 72 hours ranging between wintry mix in southern Indiana and up to 8 inches in northwest Indiana. About half of Indiana’s 92 counties are under a Winter Weather Advisory, mainly in northern and central Indiana.
Since late last week, INDOT yellow trucks have been pretreating interstates and state highways with a salt-water solution. Once the snow and ice begin falling, crews will switch from spraying salt brine to plowing and salting.
With this being such a mild winter, INDOT urges motorists to get back into winter driving habits. It’s been several weeks since roads have been covered with snow. Drive snow smart, give yourself extra time and limit non-essential travel during the heaviest snow.
INDOT has the following resources to respond to this late winter weather event:
- 1,092 Snow plows
- 200,000 tons of salt
- 100,000 gallons of brine
- 1,843 employees on call covering 28,000 lane miles
- All regional districts have around the clock crews working 12-hour shifts to battle the snow
Motorists are urged to:
- Slow down and stay behind the snowplows. The road behind the plow will be the safest place to drive. Allow at least ten car lengths between your vehicle and snowplows or hopper spreaders.
- Do not pass. The plows are wide, and sometimes a group of trucks will work in tandem to clear snow quickly, especially on major highways.
- Be particularly aware of black ice conditions on surfaces such as bridge decks and entrance and exit ramps late tonight and the early hours of tomorrow morning.
- Remember that technology helps, but only to a point. Four-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes and traction control are beneficial advancements in today’s cars, trucks and SUVs, but they cannot take the place of good driving habits and the need to reduce speed on snowy or icy roads
Purdue to Face Vermont in NCAA Tournament First Round
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue men’s basketball was rewarded for its outstanding season Sunday as it was revealed that the Boilermakers will be the No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region and face 13th-seeded Vermont in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.

Purdue is 1-of-7 teams nationally (Purdue, Kansas, Arizona, Villanova, Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky) to be ranked in all 37 AP polls since the start of last year.
Led by National Player of the Year candidate and Big Ten Player of the Year Caleb Swanigan, Purdue brings a balanced lineup into this year’s NCAA Tournament.

Purdue has set a school record for 3-pointers made in a season with 288.
Vermont, located in Burlington, Vermont, enters the NCAA Tournament with a 29-5 overall record and owners of the nation’s longest winning streak at 21 games. The Catamounts sport an efficient offensive attack, averaging 73.6 points per game and shooting 49.6 percent from the field. Anthony Lamb, a 6-foot, 6-inch freshman leads Vermont in scoring (12.6) and rebounding (5.4), while Payton Henson (6-8, 215) averages 11.4 points per game. Junior point guard Trae Bell-Haynes was the America East Player of the Year after averaging 11.1 points and 3.8 assists per game.
