Twitter is to go to get instant reaction from big events, so it’s always fun to take a spin around the Twitterverse during March Madness to see what some notable names are tweeting. For instance, Drew Brees still keeps an eye on his Boilermakers. Check out a handful of selected tweets below, and find a big list of Big Ten athletes on the Twitter page for BTN.com Brent Yarina. He’s @BTNBrentYarina and the full list is right here. All of BTN’s Twitter accounts are listed on our BTN social media page.

Lot of respect for Robbie Hummel. Had a great career. Great competitor.—

I have no doubt the time we put in last March and beyond led us to be playing this March.—

Thankful for the opportunity to play with these guys, for these coaches and in front of the best fans. Going to miss it. Thank you Iowa!—

The only people surprised about this KU-Purdue game are the people that don't watch the Big Ten. Purdue is tough—

Hoping Robbie Hummel and my Boilermakers can pull it out vs. Kansas. Looked good in the 1st half—
