@ChrisMWilliams Wow, some ridiculously rude hating going on here. As a Chicago and ISU guy, I’m fine with you being done with The United Center. Watching Michigan pummel TN has me wondering, ‘what if’ our All American forward had played? Not sure we could take Michigan,but I we’d be in the game.

I hope I never have to step foot in the United Center every again. Steal ISU's coaches, to only fire them. 0-3 in Sweet 16 games here. Plus, it's kind of a dump these days. I'm good, seriously. Later.

@ChrisMWilliams If Hurley get ejected, it’ll be the first time in NCAA history that brother’s get ejected on the same day.

Awful finish to the half. Just totally lost focus with the ball. Man.

@ChrisMWilliams 1-15 from the field with 5 turnovers feels a bit more significant. Difficult to watch.

Four on Jefferson. That's significant. 12:58 to go

Have never seen TJ this worked up over a call before

The way teams are allowed to guard Milan but then ISU getting called for every touch and cylinder foul is so frustrating. Watch teams hold and grab and bump Milan every time he tries to get open and run off screens.

@ChrisMWilliams Is it me or did we just finally play great, fast offense when Jefferson took a breather?!

Iowa State is 0-7 from the floor in the second half.

@ChrisMWilliams Jefferson got double teamed every time he dribbled in the lane. The word is out: steal the ball when he dribbles!

Feels like the Cyclones missed their chance there halfway through the second half to make this a real game. Had a handful of open looks that didn't fall.

On December 16, 1-3:30 CT, we are having a virtual Flourish Advisory Boards experience with guest guru Kevin Lawrence. If you’re curious about what a next level CEO peer group can be, shoot me a note and I’ll get you an invitation.

It’s Friday so President Trump is releasing another outrageous idea so he will control the news cycle all weekend. Will some graduate student please make a project out of documenting every Friday POTUS release please? It’s as brilliant as it is maddening.

A podcast guest recalls an interview with MMA fighter Georges St-Pierre about the 1998 World Championship, saying that as he was about to get hit, he scanned the audience, made eye contact with Cindy Crawford, and then got hit. #podcast #CindyCrawford

Sometimes life throws a lot at people. There is a quote that my friend told me which helped me realize that you have to look for the strawberries in life. #motivation #inspiration

I was just offered a $50,000 bonus via a commercial to join ICE while watching a Big 12 Football game. Oooof. I’d like to encourage networks to protect our Saturday afternoons. Please, please let us have a day when we don’t have to think about politics!

@DrNeilStone Correct answer: millions of people.

Who here has had all their recommended vaccines with either no or minor side effects? 🤚

The "Uber test" for authors: when asked what you do, is your instinct to say, "I'm an author?" That moment of identity shift changes everything. Anyone else experienced this? #AuthorLife

AI can mimic content, but struggles with "human emotion." The rise of abstract thinking is here. Authorship will be elevated because of AI, which will vet people out from writing scripts to writing soul-shifting books. Thoughts? #AI #authorship

The most shameful moments can arrive unexpectedly. "It was better to be unconscious than conscious." A stark reminder of how pain can reshape perspective. Seen this happen? #MentalHealth

Entrepreneurship isn't just about getting rich; it's the "ultimate platform of expression." It's about channeling yourself. Ever feel that pull? #entrepreneurship

When a business faces a make-or-break moment, some leaders step up, and some step away. Sometimes, that absence reveals who someone truly is, for better or worse. Seen this happen? #leadership #businesstips

Is the "unquenchable thirst" really about resolving something from the past? Maybe the mission isn't just to change the world, but to confront struggles and sacrifices. Seen this happen? #entrepreneurship #personalgrowth
