A great showing today, but we can't relax. The pressure must continue to rise relentlessly.

I don’t care if you’re black, white, brown, yellow, purple - at the end of the day there’s only ONE race and that’s the human race. BE HUMAN. Practice humanity.

Been listening to sombr the last few weeks. I like the style and sound. Side note: how cool would it be to see a comedy bit / music collaboration between him and brother from another mother, Finn Wolfhard?

It took a few weeks, but the new Lorde song is starting to click for me. Can't wait for the new album to drop in June.

Just in: There was widespread speculation about whether or not Braden Smith would transfer from Purdue. Those inside the program privately remained confident it was all just smoke. Now it's official: The First Team All-American will return to the Boilermakers for his senior season.

If there was ever a symbol of why we need to get big money out of politics, reform campaign financing, stop conflicts of interest, and tax great wealth, Elon Musk is it. Kudos to Susan Crawford on this big victory for democracy, labor rights, and reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.

I am hopeful Purdue can come up with the money to retain Braden, TKR, and Fletch. If Purdue can find the right pieces in the portal to combine with their core, a huge year could be incoming. We will just have to wait and see.

So proud of this Purdue basketball team. They fought back when Houston pushed the lead to 10 to tie the game. Credit to Houston, they beat our BLOB late switch with an excellent counter to win the game late.

Looked at the Men's NCAA bracket today. I really think Maryland has a great shot at the final four.

For my fellow Purdue fans, get ready to see a very unique defense on Friday. youtu.be/fjiEoU2_igQ?...

An attack on one of us is an attack on us all. We can not stand by and allow this blatant assault on the rights of all Americans. The time to stand up together is now.

Trey Kaufman-Renn was unstoppable tonight! Needed that win badly!

We lost an acting legend today in Gene Hackman. Being from Indiana, his role as the head coach in Hoosiers always holds a special place in my heart.

Michigan is a good team. Really like Vlad as he is tough to stop inside. They don't have a Point Guard, though. The intensity of Purdue and Mackey rattled them.

Ok, Internet algorithms, stop twisting my arm! I'll see the Timothee Chalamet Bob Dylan movie.

Derik Queen is a super talent, deserving all the accolades. He is a smooth athlete who is more skilled than you realize. He could move fluidly, put the ball on the floor, and even shoot out to 3 pt land. Adding in those really long arms and his weight make him tough to handle.

Maryland is a good team with 2 great scoring options and some nice complementary shooters. That's enough to make a run. Right now, I think they are a round of 32 team. That could change as they improve. Though they played a bit sloppy last night and hurt their chances down the stretch.

Purdue ground out a good win against a talented Maryland squad last night. Braden Smith came alive late, really making plays through his 3pt shot making and dishes. It was good to see the Purdue offense come alive again after that poor showing vs Penn State.

1 last thought, you really saw where Purdue misses Jacobsen this year. Probably still a L, but he would give the team a chance to intimidate drivers in the paint.

That was probably the worst game I saw from Loyer. Lost the ball a lot on drives and from throwing bad passes.

Penn State demolished Purdue. That's going to leave a mark. Honestly, the lack of athleticism and rim protection on defense were really exposed tonight. I still don't understand why off the ball players can't backcut while the 5 pulls up from the paint.

You have to be really encouraged as a Purdue basketball fan that Colvin and Heide both had big games in San Diego. If they can produce points and rebound, this team is way stronger simultaneously on both sides of the floor.

Really late, but Purdue had a great effort to top Ole Miss for the Radys Children's tournament in San Diego. It was the Myles Colvin coming out party. Shot well and did the little things needed to win. I like Purdue had to deal with adversity with Ole Miss bombing away from three to take the lead

Ole Miss will be a tough challenge with Chris Beard coaching. You know they will defend with high intensity just like Marquette did. I expect a similar gameplan to pressure and trap Braden Smith.

Was also surprised to see the max ball handler lineup with Smith, Harris, and Cox. This could be something we see more with a team that pressures most of the game.

I think it was smart for Painter to go to the smaller lineup. Without Jacobsen, there is no rim protector, so you should go for the points on the other end. I like the size, athleticism, and length of Heide and Colvin to rebound and defend while making shots.
