Wrote about this shot, and 14 more, in the Hoosiers' win yesterday against Purdue. Also wrote about the crowd, the coaches, the class, and the rivalry. https://t.co/M7gojvdtGp https://t.co/JzCqPVAoof
The IU women beat Purdue in a game full of passion and class, from both teams and both coaches and the Mackey Arena crowd. Then we got word of Caitlin Clark at Ohio State, and learned just how monstrous the sport has grown. https://t.co/M7gojvdtGp
Really glad Caitlin Clark is ok. Tough situation but schools must find a way to safely secure a players exit from the court. Too dangerous.
Never thought court storming would go away in college basketball but Caitlin Clark is the biggest star in college basketball and this is going to lead to some serious conversations. https://t.co/pMn5h13hq4

Between Zach Edey, all those shooters, all that defense AND EVEN MORE ZACH EDEY, this Purdue team is too much for ... well, for anyone. The Boilers are rampaging since that loss to Nebraska, crushing Iowa today, and heaven help anyone in their way. https://t.co/27u5mJjg3I
How good was Purdue's Zach Edey today against Iowa? How good has he been for three games, three weeks, three years? Put it like this: In my story from this rout of Iowa, I'm mentioning Lew Alcindor and Elvin Hayes, Elgin Baylor and ... more. https://t.co/27u5mJjg3I
After hiccup at Nebraska, Purdue is back to destroying teams - home, road, melted ice, whatever. Edey, Lance Jones, Loyer, Smith, Painter. Purdue 84, Iowa 70 #columncoming
Purdue beating Iowa 47-34 at the half. Zach Edey has 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks. But get this: Purdue with Edey on floor: plus-4 in 16 minutes Purdue w/o Edey on floor: plus-9 in 4 minutes 🤷‍♂️
Iowa got down 14, but Carver is buzzing again after Payton Sandfort's 3 cuts it to 38-29 vs. #2 Purdue.
