Twitter Tuesday

Several players and coaches from the Big 10 and Big 12 have Twitter accounts. This is the first installment of a new weekly feature, Twitter Tuesday. Of course, these players and coaches are incredibly busy and may not update as frequent as fans would like. But here are some recent interesting tweets for your personal enjoyment, with Twitter usernames linked for easy following. Some tweets are combined, others are fragments.

Tubby Smith-Minnesota Golden Gophers

Enjoyed watching Chuck Hayes play last night. He was a great leader for our program at Kentucky. We play tonight see you at the BARN. -Nov. 19

Big congrats to Coach Brewster & the bowl-eligible Gophers. -Nov. 15

Scott Drew-Baylor Bears

We took our team to watch the movie Blind Side..I highly recommend it.Later we found out the Director of the movie is a Baylor Grad named John Hancock and he had also directed the great sports movie The Rookie. -Nov. 30

One last thought for all the basketball coaches out there...one thing I love is after every football game most teams meet in the middle to pray together. For some reason basketball has never done that. Following our game last year at Auburn they did that. I wish after every basketball game just like in football both teams prayed together. -Nov. 31

Mark Turgeon-Texas A&M Aggies

Glad that stretch is over. 6 games in 12 days will test a team and a staff. -Dec. 7

First four minutes of this half are important! Need to build this thing up. Shared the ball well. Must play position defense, too many fouls. -Dec. 7 during game against North Texas

LaVall Jordan-Iowa Hawkeyes, Assistant Coach

Back in the tweet mix...it's been a while. Had our noses to the grindstone trying 2 get better every day. Guys r determined 2 get better. -Dec. 4

Tom Crean-Indiana Hoosiers

Two really good days of practice. The attitude is one of really wanting to learn what is needed to improve and win. -Dec. 3

We are building this program the old fashioned way. Hard work and through fierce competition. There is nothing that beats learning to compete and execute. -Nov. 26
