It's amazing how much better the field at the Maui Invitational was last year compared to this year.

Feast week in College Basketball is actually a legitimate rival for March Madness.

For me it would go:

1. NCAAT 1st Weekend
2. Feast Week
3. NCAAT S16/E8
4. NCAAT Final Four

How would you rank those?

I gotta kick the habit of automatically opening Twitter to post about college basketball

Glad to see Will Berg get some productive minutes today. Good finishing around the rim, great moments on defense, and getting down and dirty on the boards.

Hoping this will be a good reset for him as he settles into this role

Bracket Watch: A Wild Weekend Leads to Seed-Shuffling From Top to Bottom Upsets, blowouts and injuries on the first weekend of conference play have reshaped how we look at the bracketβ€”and that's just the top seeds.

Had to move my work phone sim card to an old iPhone I have and found this article in the browser. Talk about a throwback.

Not to get lost in the fray, but this is Purdue's first loss in a very long time that didn't result in a court storm.

So there's that

So it turns out Purdue isn't going to go undefeated in the 2024-25 season.

Really thought this would be the year lol

We'll be alright πŸ’›πŸ–€

What's your key to tonight's game?

I think my main key is going to be rebounding. Have to limit offensive rebounds and getting the home team going.

What's yours?

Game day as Purdue goes on the road to face a tough Marquette team.

We'll truly see what this team is made of tonight.

Let's get to work πŸ’›πŸ–€

Did i just hear that Cal hadn't won a non-conference road game, before tonight, since 2017?? That's crazy.

Purdue basketball is very very good, and very very fun lol

Some decent college basketball on tonight! Can't wait!

Boilers/Bama is obviously the headliner, but Wisconsin/Arizona is also pretty intriguing!

What other game you gonna have on tonight?

I can not begin to describe how much more fun Duke/Kentucky has been over MSU/Kansas

Say what you will, the Champions Classic is always exciting.

The potential for great games is high and if they deliver, they really deliver.

Really looking forward to the Alabama game on Friday.

The vibe feels very similar to the Villanova game from 2016(?).

Both teams are going to be pushed and we're going to learn a lot!

Purdue not being in the CFP top 6 just shows that the media is fraudulent

At this point in this specific season, Purdue doesn't need to win all their remaining games as long as they show progress and compete.

The record for this season is a wash and it's now all about carrying as much developmental momentum as possible into next year

Purdue football is gonna be rocking the next couple years if Walters can continue this recruiting level.

gotta say the biggest feeling after Purdue's thrashing of Illinois is relief that (1) all of the small signs of promise we saw that didn't quite come together over the first 4 weeks weren't a mirage; and (2) at least a one-week break from all the nonsense Hazell-Walters comps from bad-faith "fans".

I have once again become determined that Purdue shan't be losing to Illinois this weekend.

Do with this information what you will

I'm so unbelievably excited for Purdue Basketball this year.

Just thought about it for 60 seconds and I'm ready to run through a wall for this team.

Re-listened to the Matt Painter interviews from yesterday. I'm so happy we have him leading this program.

Cant wait for the season to start πŸ’›πŸ–€
