There has never been another player like Pete Rose in my lifetime. This is the way I will remember him, playing the game harder than anyone else ever did.
Few athletes will leave behind more complicated legacies. Today isn’t the day for that.
Today, let’s just say thanks to Charlie Hustle, for playing the way we always dreamt we would if given the chance. #RIP

The individual high school/portal rankings for players on a team that just played for the National Championship.
Matt Painter is the best evaluator of talent in the country.
Out of 7,900+ team seasons in the KenPom era, Purdue just played the 2nd hardest schedule in the past 24 seasons.
And Purdue is the only one in the top-10 to do it with fewer than 10 losses (they only had 5).
Thank you to all of Boiler nation, especially @BoilerBall and our senior members, for giving us the greatest season in Purdue basketball history. We have the best fans, the best coach, and the best players in the country.
Until next season,
Boiler Up, Hammer Down and Stay Frosty
If #Purdue wins national championship tonight, it's also a win for Indiana high school basketball. @BoilerBall has 11 @IHSAA1 players on roster + in-state coaching flavor.
