Braden Smith is not gonna be the most talented guard in the big ten. But dude is a winner. And that goes a long way.

Wearing my ISU gear today. Terre Haute will forever be home to me. And seeing all the people at my alma mater hurting is not a good feeling. My thoughts will remain with the individuals, families, coaches, and friends of all involved. We all must stick together during these times.

Visited DNF a few weeks ago. I live in Indiana. Been following ever since Lemo left IU for Mississippi State. DNF was a bucket list of mine. It is college baseball at its finest. I look forward to seeing MSU get back to winning ways in the near future!.

This program has meant so much to me these last 4 years. All the relationships I have with all of the managers, GA’s, players, and coaches will last forever. Thank you to everyone who has impacted me in this journey. We aren’t done yet. See you in St. Louis!.
.@cwill_20 , @BronsonKessing1 , @JBtoocold and managers @B_RENT05 & @daltondietrich7. Thank you. #MarchOn

Heading home today as my junior year is over. As @AmyTonsoni is probably just jumping for joy at the thought of me being home @Soni42 sends me this text this morning “Do not eat the Reece’s peanut butter cup that is in the fridge when you get home.” All love dad 😂.

Watched every single game this season. And I will watch every one next season. I am a sycamore for life. Hell of a run. Hell of a season. Just came up a tad short. But I’m damn proud to be a sycamore. And I will be a sycamore for life. All love towards my boys at @IndStBasketball.

They were challenging the play. You HAVE to have a play call ready. Instead they use another timeout. So 2 timeouts to draw up a run up the middle? Inexcusable.

Great night of hoops. Western is a talented and fun group to watch. Will be rooting for them the rest of the way. As for our team. played hard and competed. Upset at the loss but we will get better. Bright future for our squad. Back to work Monday!!.
Proud of this guy @B_RENT05 His coaching debut at JV level was a win against our JV. We evened the score in the Varsity contest in OT.

One thing I know is my pops is the most servant minded individual I know. He has made many people feel right at home while visiting his tailgates before #iufb games. It’s time for him to take care of himself health wise.
Hey @AssemblyCall followers. This Saturday will officially be the last tailgate I will be hosting. Sadly, I’m realizing that I need to make some changes to how I do things health wise. So let’s blow this thing out Saturday starting at 1:00. Lot 11 one last time!.

To our seniors man. They set the tone for years to come on how to be bought in, play the right way, play tough, play as hard as possible for 32 minutes. Saying bye to them was tough. Love each of them like family.

Always an honor competing against @MikeLewis_12 and @Soni42. Not another staff I respect more. Glad I get to root for Western the rest of the way. Also very excited I never have to game plan for @7_Kretzilla_7 again. Our team will learn from tonight. Love you pops.
Competitors during the game but lots of love & respect after the game. @B_RENT05 made me proud tonight.

This. Being on the same page with your entire staff is crucial to success. Woody has a right to make a change when it clearly wasn’t working out. Onward!! #iubb.
Just so it’s clear: this was a long time coming and is not a shock to anyone who knows what’s going on behind the scenes. Fife was a bad fit from Day 1. #iubb.

Everything I know is because of this man. It all started when I was young. Always in the gym with his teams. He’s the best coach I know. Couldn’t be more grateful for him and my mom. Love you pops.

I’m a few years removed but the Rossville family is special. Mr. Thomas was one of the most caring teachers I’ve ever had. Always helped me with whatever I needed. Had a smile on his face and yelled “what up BT!” Whenever he saw me. RIP my guy much love! @RossvilleSchool.

Such an emotional and tough day. Dave was always a joy to be around anytime I saw him at games or on the road. My thoughts are with @CoachLansing and his family during this tough time.
With permission from the Lansing family it is with a very heavy heart I am reporting former Harlan Cyclone HOF basketball coach Dave Lansing passed away last night @IowaBCA @IHSAA Prayers to Diane and the children during this very tough time.🙏

I’ve seen first hand the amount of work @TyrekeKey has put in. But not only is he a great basketball player he is an even better person that I am lucky enough to call a close friend. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds brotha! #Family.
Tonight Tyreke Key will be honored here on senior night. does that mean his ISU chapter is officially closed? I asked Coach Schertz that and more in our pregame chat. #MarchOn . 📻

So inspiring seeing how much our school has come together during this difficult time. Easy to see how Mr. T made such an impact on so many. Proud of my school!!.
Awesome job RMHS in honoring Mr. Brian Thomas’ family! The Student led effort in raising money for Mr. Thomas’ children’s college fun was very successful. You raised over $6100! #weRrossville

With the addition of these 4 schools it definitely makes the big ten baseball competition more legit. But now they HAVE to give baseball more exposure on BTN. Can’t continue the low quality BTN+.
There's no doubt that adding USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon will make the #BigTen a better baseball conference, but I still want to see the conference office show they care more about baseball. School admins have improved. The conference? Not so much. Long way to go.

So true. Been this way for years. My freshman year we upset butler, they never wanted to come back. Beat IU my sophomore year on the road and they never wanted to play again either. They know they could lose and don’t want to risk it.

Overall a disappointing weekend given the circumstances with a big ten title chance. However, a year after sneaking into the BTT and being 5 games under 500 this team is a 2 seed, a 40 win team, and an NCAAT team. Helluva response today. Let’s roll next week #iubase.

ISU administration “You guys better win or your coach won’t last much longer” ISU Basketball *has 2 consecutive winning seasons with the majority of the talent coming back* .ISU Administration “Nah we’re gonna get rid of him anyways” SMH.
Just spoke with Cobie Barnes and he made a great point. It's unfair to start with that players are playing for a coaches' job, but then when they perform at a winning level and it doesn't matter anyway? It hurts.

I also feel like this is a great time to watch Porters comments again. ISU made a big mistake!!.
