"If you don’t play hard, then you sit and rot on the bench. I’ll go and talk to people in compliance. I'll help you transfer. This culture is getting built the right way. If you ain’t a part of it, you’re out."

Look who sent us a box... @BoilerFootball!
Growing up in Bloomington while my dad coached running backs at IU, I never thought I'd see myself wearing ANY Purdue gear... but dang do they have some cool stuff!!
Thank you Coach Odom and all the Boilermakers for this awesome swag!
The last 5 times Purdue has reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Boilermakers have won. They’ve reached the Sweet 16 in six of the last eight tournaments. Haven’t lost a second round game since 2012. What an era of @BoilerBall. Matt Painter is elite.

A couple notes from @BoilerBall
• Purdue became the 2nd team and 1st since 1968 UCLA to win back-to-back neutral-site games by 18 or more points vs top-10 teams • 1st time in school history that Purdue has defeated top 10-ranked non-conference teams in back-to-back games
