Received an email chastising me for writing Zach Edey was a monster last night (I'm sure IU would agree) because Edey is a "well-spoken and admirable young man" (which is true). The person demanded I apologize. So, I'm sorry @zach_edey.

Being a dad informs how I see the world, and how I write about it. Last night a middle-aged IU fan loudly, cruelly taunted Purdue's Zach Edey during his postgame TV interview at Assembly Hall. Next thing I know, I'm walking into the crowd to ask him why.https://t.co/hN1jQ3sJxR

Quote of the Day

“I think that’s why he’s the National Player of the Year. Not because he had whatever he had, 30 tonight? I don’t know.”
