100 Things Purdue Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die: bit.ly/4rWG9T8
- Matt Painter: "Caleb Furst is 22 years old, he's engaged to be married, he's been accepted to medical school and he's the all-time winningest player in Purdue history."
- Hope Frost remembered he has to throw his staff under the bus on the opposite side of the road in Ireland.Frost postgame: "I think our offensive staff has to learn you've got to be a little more creative in this league."
00:00- Not as bad as it sounds. Academy of Art University has some real talent in the paint.UC Davis loses a buy game to Academy of Art University (a private for-profit art school in San Francisco). The epitome of brutality.
- Braden Smith: "I don’t like taking 22 shots. I felt bad. Like, dang I shot a lot." Trey Kaufman-Renn: "Unlike Braden, I have no problem taking 22 shots."
- Trey Kaufman-Renn said he called a players-only meeting on Tuesday. This was in addition to individual meetings Matt Painter held this week. Said yesterday was one of Purdue's best practices in a while. "I'm real excited. There's so much left in this team."
- He's not the hero we deserve, but he's the hero we need.Our man was not going to be denied in the Icee Chugging Contest. No matter the cost. No. Matter. The. Cost. #BrainFreeze #AutoZoneParkFun
00:00 - Something I have struggled with relating to Michigan’s “due process” argument. People are suspended all the time pending the completion of an investigation. Such as when Michigan suspended Connor Stalions. How different is this, really?Michigan just issued a blistering statement on behalf of athletic director Warde Manuel.
00:00- Ohio State's Justin Fields on waiting to be taken at No. 11: "I've gone through situations where I haven't been chosen. I think the world has seen the outcome of that."
- I thought Ryan Cline's performance would get some "One Shining Moment" love. Guess he should have dunked more.
- Purdue coach Matt Painter on C.J. Cox: "He's one of those guys who when he makes one he's instantly hot -- or at least he thinks he's instantly hot, and that's all that matters."
