Neat piece about Matt Haarms. Discusses his background in Holland and his love for soccer and history. He didn't pick up a basketball until middle school. Good read.

ESPN has Matt Painter listed at the top of their list of potential COY candidates saying "If the race for national coach of the year ended today, Painter would win."

Seth Walder ESPN Analytics More on Purdue, the new favorite (19%) to win the NCAA tournament: the Boilermakers' BPI rating improved after dominating Minnesota yesterday and is now just shy of Villanova's rating.

Seth Walder ESPN Analytics It's close, but Purdue now has the best chance to win the NCAA tournament at 19%, per BPI. The Boilermakers moved ahead of Villanova, which is now at 17%.
