Just got settled here in the media room in the United Center.

Purdue coach Matt Painter and selected players (likely seniors JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore) will speak to reporters in a news conference setting here in about 30 minutes, and the team's locker room will be open at the same time.

After that, Purdue will participate in an open "practice," which is essentially just some shooting and layup drills. It's not really a good indication of how the team actually practices, but it's a chance for fans to see the guys run around.

Be sure to check back here on the blog daily throughout the tournament. I'll be posting some videos as well as extra content that won't be in our print editions.

This is the last chance to submit questions for guard Ryne Smith for his "Revelations," too. So e-mail me at sclardie@jg.net with "Ryne's Revelations" in the subject line, and we'll get it done.
