Another great Big 10 game... Johnny Davis just willed one in...

Bad news @Officer Obie! No worries though...I have a couple of fifths of T-Bird ESQ (Extra Special Quality 😉) to send if need be...

But can the Russian people rein Putin in? He was KGB, so I would imagine he's got an ear close to the ground everywhere... And we know what happens to those who oppose him...

Wisky up on Rutgers at Jersey Mike's Arena (now I'm craving a chipotle cheesesteak sub) by 9 at the break... Rutgers has held Johnny D to 4 points, but Davison (tee up for @Joe_Hoopsier 😁) and Chucky Hepburn have 11 and 10 points respectively.

I agree with the "play on" definitely... Didn't see a hook and hold, but I don't have a replay available...their arms got tangled for a sec, but not a good either way as I saw it...

And if I'm not mistaken DeJenette was the first African American to play on a state title winner... I have Herb Schwomeyer's book "Hoosier Hysteria" around here somewhere...

What blatant hook and hold? On Edey's last foul?

Dumb plays by Hall and Williams on inbounds passes

The out of bounds can't be reviewed...but wasn't it vs Wisconsin against us?

Painter should pop him in the handshake line

Yeah, that was bad... But there have been a lot of questionable calls in this one... Seems to be a trend in games officiated by DJ Carstensen...

Barn burner in East Lansing...

Minnesota really has no answer for Race and Trayce down low. Eric Curry can't guard either and whoever he doesn't guard has a huge mismatch going against Jamison Battle. Battle is a really good offensive player, but he's not a good defender overall, and he's least effective guarding in the post.

Purdue still having defensive issues.. Down 9 to Sparty with 8 to go...

Edey and Cockburn both...

I understand, but on the other side of that is no question at all... It's a leader selected by one (unhinged) man who's human rights record isn't exactly sparkling...

Wasn't the current government elected through democratic means? I understand there has been corruption in Ukraine for some time, but saying you'd rather have a Russian appointed despot under Putin's thumb calling the shots rather than a duly elected government is lunacy to me...

Need a mental break from real world tragedies... Purdue at Michigan State sounds like a good outlet...

The images coming out of Ukraine this morning are shocking and sad...

The Nittany Lions are about to knock off Northwestern in Happy Valley... I mentioned him a few pages ago as a kid to watch in the future, but Dallon Johnson can flat shoot it...5-9 from 3, all in the 2nd half... Harrar with 18 boards...

For a comparison, in 14,530 at bats Joe DiMaggio (369) and Ted Williams (709) struck out less than half as many times combined in their careers as Jackson (9,864 ABs) did...

Interesting comment. I'm not intimately familiar with the history of the region, but I do understand there were many Russian citizens in the two "breakaways" (Donetsk and Luhansk?)... A picture just for understanding... So what would bring peace? Ukraine ceding those territories back to Russia? According to the news reports I've seen his troops are well beyond those territories...

When: Sunday, February 27th 6 PM EST Where: The Barn, Minneapolis, Minnesota TV: ESPN 2 Record: 13-13 (4-13, 13th in Big Ten) Last 5 games Box Score from our last game Last game against us, Jamison Battle and Payton Willis were the players to worry about. Both can create their own shot, and are good ballplayers. Sean Sutherlin has supplanted a struggling Willis in the starting lineup, and they've been getting better production out of Luke Loewe and Eylijah Stephens. I don't want to say they're "better than their record indicates" because they're really not. They lack depth and are very inconsistent at 4 of their starting position, with Battle being the one exception. Curry, Loewe, Sutherlin, and Stephens can have good games (Loewe had 24 in their win vs Northwestern) and come back with a stinker. I think if we hold Battle down, and play our normal defense, we'll be fine. Historically, we've not played well in The Barn, but we really need this one.

Hey, they have a Time-Life series! Actually 64...but I look much younger. A lady told me the other day I didn't look a day over 58!

I know...every time I see Stewart at point guard I picture that dude on The Ed Sullivan Show spinning plates on sticks...
