Just ran into Saul Smith at Bunkers. What is he still doing in Minneapolis? Leave already. #gophers

Tyus and Jahlil sure seem like best buds. That's bad news if you're a #Gophers fan.

#Huskers eliminate #Gophers, 7-4. Nebraska pieced it together on the mound, and its offense and defense both came up big. @B1GBaseball

Something to consider: #Purdue, which didn't get a national seed last year, was 7-6 vs. RPI Top 50, 25-10 vs. RPI Top 100, won #BigTen.

Talked to PJ Thompson, still has interest for #purdue #butler and #ballstate. Will visit BSU in June, hopes for Purdue offer over summer.

PJ Thompson's outside shot on tonight. Hit multiple 3-pointers. Also, Indy Ice has given up 11 points in 25 minutes of play #purdue #bsu
