Wrote about Purdue-Bama last night. Arguably no team more modern in CBB than the Tide—so it was ironic an old-school gameplan from the Boilermakers doomed them Thursday. Column: www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

Purdue makes case to return to No. 1 with road win at No. 8 Alabama

No. 2 Purdue proved old-school physicality, high-level execution can be a winning recipe against even the most modern teams

My account has been zeroed out because it was beyond the date of collection and the only bills sent came 4.5 years later. Took many hours of calls, emails, and digging, but now resolved. Huge relief. Many many thanks to @norlander.bsky.social @summerbreeze0102.bsky.social & others for your help. 🙏🏽

Question for ppl smarter than me: I received a bill this week for a healthcare service provided in February 2021. I confirmed today it took four-plus years to process; it was not previously billed. Is there grounds to contest it? Wondering if this could vary by state, but I live in OK.

There have been 8,315 men selected into the NBA in 78 years. None of them took as unlikely of a path as what Cedric Coward has walked. Big feature on an incredible guy who went from zero-star prospect, a terrible D-III team to first-round lock. It is a story without parallel in basketball history.

Cedric Coward's path to the NBA Draft shouldn't be possible

Coward's inconceivable rise from D-III obscurity to lock first-round pick is a journey basketball's never seen.

Well, well, this is the coolest. I love that Brian Rosenworcel beamed in Bruce Pearl style from what looks like a 2005 Razr to keep the CBB theming alive as a way to pay homage to the diehards.

Matt Norlander@norlander.bsky.social · last yr.

Fun news: The EOCBB theme song has been Gusterized. To honor this occasion, I asked Ryan Miller + @brianrosenworcel.bsky.social of @guster.bsky.social to come on the pod and tape a 3-min intro ... and then that turned into a batty 15-minute powwow. Here's the uncut convo. These guys are the best.
