NCAA Tournament 2000 - Purdue playbook: Life of Brian

Purdue playbook: Life of Brian
From Coach's Edge

It only seems like Brian Cardinal has tenure at Purdue. The fourth-year senior is, once again, leading the Boilermakers to the Sweet 16 -- this is the third straight year. The Boilermaker attack rely upon a controlled offense and tenacity. The catalyst, Cardinal, can hurt an opponent both inside and outside the 3-point line.
