A little out of my element, I wrote a special blog post dedicated to the Purdue men's basketball team finally breaking through to the Final Four.

If you are a Purdue fan, you may enjoy this

@CHGO_Bulls Worse. Spo is the best coach in the league and the Heat front office will put together a great team around him.

also, every time the Heat have gotten a superstar over the past 20+ years, they go to the finals.

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."

And then...

[Herb Lawrence @Ecnerwal23]

Braden with a rookie mistake on that throw home. No chance to get Albies and let the hitter get to second

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

My team is fun again 😀

[Chicago Sports Bums @ChiSportsBums]

DEBUT WALK OFF FOR BRADEN MONTGOMERY!!!

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

@itsAntWright Nope. I'm watching my Boilers implode here in the 9th.

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

The White Sox are fun again? Is it time to break out the city connect jersey?

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

@capybaroness Exactly. The draft should be abolished.

[Boiler Burner @BoilerBurner1]

Braden Smith’s legendary 4️⃣1️⃣ game - 14 points, 11 assist, 0 turnovers and BTT MVP to go with his 4th B10 championship.

Giving one away to 4️⃣1️⃣ of my loyal followers.

‘Like’ and ‘Repost’ to be entered. This card is sick.

4️⃣1️⃣🐐

@CoupNBA If they don't cast Ralph Ineson as Gideon Ofnir, it would be a big missed opportunity.

Him delivering the "Ahh, I knew you'd come..." monologue, would be perfect.

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

@lukeisamazing Well I can hear pudding!!!

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

@MarcHochman @stugotz790 @tvippolis I definitely pulled a stugotz and misread that. It absolutely talks about his son.

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

Purdue's ability to keep players in the current atmosphere is pretty impressive.

[Purdue Men's Basketball @BoilerBall]

🔐 Boilers are locked in.

WE’RE BACK!

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

@jeffrdillon @totally_t_bomb Reporting errors:

Purdue
-Caden Pierce should be on projected contributors
-Antoine West is listed twice.
-Jamyn Sondrup will be on mission and not report to Purdue until 2028.

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

As a Purdue fan, this is shocking.

Top 10 college football programs with the most offensive tackles drafted of all time.

[Isaiah Walker @walkeri141]

cannot imagine being a member of the big ten conference without an NCAA women's basketball national title

couldn't be my or UCLA's programs - go Bruins

[mike carmin @mike_carmin]

NCAA WBB: UCLA becomes the 2nd Big Ten program to win the national championship as a member of the conference, joining Purdue, which won the title in 1999.
Bruins dominated South Carolina in today’s championship game

[Matthew Grahovac @mlghikes]

@UConn05 @_BrentDavis_ Hi Mike. I also have 2 tickets. Not lower level, but I cannot go anymore. Selling for $250 a piece. Let me know if you are interested
