Purdue's Fletcher Loyer was named B1G Player of the Week. The team's rise to the top of the rankings has been widely covered and discussed by various sports analysts and media outlets.
Have Purdue, UConn, Arizona and Houston played better than the rest of college hoops thus far. Yup. Will it continue? Wrote about it in @TheFieldOf68 Daily. (Did Kansas bias sneak in? Nah.) https://t.co/Cj6uvViAnF
Marquette comes to @The_AMPPVD in Top 10 and faves (with UConn) to rule Big East. Friars are 4.5 pt home dogs. https://t.co/TnMjbTWwBj

Memphis' game versus No. 22 Virginia will be a clash of styles. The No. 23 Tigers want to get up and down the floor and the Cavaliers, well, uh ... do not. What I'm looking for when UVA visits FedExForum tomorrow night: https://t.co/e7CJEMLciO
Couple of interesting men's hoops game tonight: Virginia (9-1) at Memphis (8-2) at 6 p.m. on ESPN2 and MU (9-2) at Providence (9-2) at 7:30 p.m. on FS1.
Tomorrow is No. 22 Virginia's first true road game of the season. Seven of the Cavaliers' 10 games so far have been at home, with the other three at neutral sites. https://t.co/xE032tqPh8

We look forward to tipping off Big East play from Providence for a terrific matchup between #6 Marquette and the Friars. These two teams have played some WILD games in Rhode Island in recent years - 2 of 3 have gone to OT or double OT. The one outlier? Blizzard Beach! @CBBonFOX https://t.co/ceXLlXZxYt

Virginia remained at No. 22. That makes Tuesday's matchup the first time in more than 9 years that a ranked Memphis team will take on a ranked opponent at FedExForum. Last time this happened was March 8, 2014, when the then-No. 20 Tigers beat then-No. 18 SMU 67-58. https://t.co/WPxXlk0PRf

Overnight column on the excellent Arizona-Purdue basketball game. Which, unfortunately, is just prelude for two teams that have a lot to prove in March: https://t.co/jUFM1cihh9
I like Purdue's chances in March much better after watching sophomore guards Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer go off for combined 53 points during 92-84 W over previously unbeaten, top ranked Arizona in Indy.
Most Quad 1 wins this season: Purdue 5 Houston 4 Texas A&M 3 Wisconsin 3 Arizona 3 Kansas 3 Clemson 3
This is a different Purdue team, and the biggest reason? “Braden Smith is one of the top point guards in the country.” - Fletcher Loyer My column after Purdue’s win over No. 1 Arizona. https://t.co/lzqJyVxyXS
