Hammer and Rails has teamed up with the TBT for an H&R exclusive bracket…with H&R exclusive prizes.

He y’all, I teased this yesterday, and now that I’ve managed to chop my way through the legal jungle, it’s time to unveil the Hammer and Rails exclusive prizes. Like the TBT, this is a winner take all bracket challenge.

Rules

Official Rules (this is what I’ve been waiting for)

2. Fill out your bracket before tip of the opening game.

Why only 5 Purdue Players?

Honestly, I have no idea. Haas was on the team last year and AJ Hammons was in uniform but didn’t play. At the same time, you’re not going to get many more opportunities to see Robbie and Lew Jack play basketball. We’re going to need to enjoy this for what it is, and not be upset about what it isn’t.

Personally, I think this years squad is better than last years squad. I’ll be covering this tournament for the duration, with regular updates as things progress.
