"It's an educated fan base, so a lot of people made comments about they think it's pretty neat," Painter said. "The thing that people like the most is they did this on their own. It's their thoughts. So many things are framed today in sports: 'What's the right thing for us to do or the right thing for us to say?' When in reality, say how you feel."
"We don't want to use our four years here just to play basketball and help Purdue win games," Thompson said. "We want to use our four years to try and make a difference. It could be someone in Idaho or Wisconsin who loves Purdue, and [the words on the shirts] actually meant something to them. They might think, 'I need to spread more love, show more respect, be more loyal.'

Love them. I saw them last week for the first time and love hearing the background story. This team genuinely loves each other. They were at the pool, the gym, the casino, etc. in force and had a blast last week (note: none of this on game days and they weren’t in the casino until after beating Zona, even with a 6:30 flight the next morning).
