🔐 Boilers are locked in. WE’RE BACK!

If this is where your head is at after you won a national title, then you obviously tampered. You aren't thinking about it if you didn't. Just enjoy the title dude. You're not under an investigation.

If Michigan and Illinois both make the Final Four, it's 2-2 that Michigan will beat a Big East team in the championship game.

I've got no dog in the fight, but I've been sick of watching defenders put two hands on ball handlers all year. So if tonight is when they finally say enough of it, then so be it.

If we are really going to embrace the totality of the transfer portal, then some network needs to have Underwood vs May in a debate with Greg Gard as moderator to sell their program to John Blackwell. Let's have some fun with it.

Imagine bringing Cal on and then barking at him more than you let him talk. Very impressed by his patience on the set. Thank goodness he finally talked about life after basketball. The current system isn’t helping that.

Purdue beat this Michigan team for the Big Ten Tournament Championship. That could end up being quite a tale to tell down the road. This is an absolute drubbing in Indianapolis.

Imagine Wagler hit that same 3 but Illinois hadn’t given up the offensive board. Should be a one point game. Can’t believe rebounding might be the final nail in the coffin.

🇺🇸 The new All-America U.

Leaving off Ralph Sampson AND Zach Edey as two-time NPOY makes it truly fitting to see this released on April Fool's Day

UConn just eliminated ESPN from March Madness. They’re going to be stuck talking about coaching searches and what’s wrong with college basketball. It’s wonderful. SEC gone. ACC gone.

@dustinaubert Both can be true

@petehelland Yeah, but Arizona played better. Deserved that win.

This is the play where I lost my mind. If a 3 person crew can’t spot that while the ball goes right past it then I’m not sure what we’re even doing.

Lot about the Big 3 tonight and rightfully so but Oscar Cliff was the best player against the best teams. Michigan and Arizona it was all Oscar. Man what a finish he had in March.

Purdue 1-0 in the Elite 8 when I’m in attendance. 0-2 when I’m not.

Hell of a run to get that Big Ten Tournament banner. Hell of a run to get that first half lead. The teams at this level have superior size and athleticism. Painter shifted before when we needed more skill. He will need to shift again. These seniors had an all time run though.

Someone sub in Deron Williams here and spark the comeback

37-31 at the half. It’s the hope that kills you.

Purdue used every ounce to get that 7 point halftime lead. There are no legs on offense.

Fletch has to play. You have to get him hot. It’s time to go for broke.
