Chris Fowler reflects on the most powerful and emotional game he's ever called:
"It was a game between Purdue and Ohio State. There was a young cancer patient named Tyler Trent, a superfan who had essentially been adopted by the team.
He battled cancer courageously and was in very bad shape. His dying wish was to see them win that game. They were massive underdogs.
Somehow, they got him out of bed and into the car to make it to the game. He was just hanging on, man. It was one of those magical nights.
It would have been a corny movie if it had been on film. They blast Ohio State, and it's a party. They wheel Tyler through the end zone to the locker room to wait for the team after the victory.
It was just an incredibly powerful emotion, and I was barely keeping it together. I said, 'Every Boilermaker would say, "Tyler, this one's for you."'
It's my favorite game I've ever called because it went way beyond sports."
Dear Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer, and Trey Kaufman-Renn,
Thank you for an incredible four years of college basketball.
What you stand for and represent will never be taken for granted.
Walk proud.
Today.
Tomorrow.
And Forever.
Sincerely,
America

“Bob Knight said basketball was watched by millions, but understood by few. So if you think he’s the 11th best point guard in the country, I hope you get a job in the Big Ten. At least we’ll get two wins.”
