Assisting the Montana communities of Helena
after a courageous and tough battle with cancer
Donnie was raised on a working cattle ranch
where his boundless curiosity and love of learning first took root
he was captivated by how things worked—an interest sparked when
That gift opened the door to a lifelong passion for electronics
Some of his earliest creations were practical
Don and his sisters were actively involved in 4-H and other activities
he cultivated a meaningful mentorship with teacher Al Kiep—an influential friendship that would remain steadfast throughout Don’s life
Though he couldn’t attend the after-school Amateur Radio Club due to the distance from the ranch
amateur radio would become a lifelong pursuit and a cornerstone of his identity
After graduating from Etna Union High School in 1964
Don earned an Associate of Arts degree in Electronics from Shasta Community College in 1966
he proudly enlisted and served in the US Navy as an electronics technician
Though his military service was cut short due to a medical condition
he was honorably discharged in 1969 at the rank of E5
Together they built a loving home and family
Don began what would become a lifelong career with Picker International
After a short time in Medford where their second son Kevin was born in 1977
Don and family were transferred to Montana where they would remain
Don was a gifted and generous man whose talents reached far beyond his professional career
and improving anything mechanical or electronic
or crafting beautiful woodworking projects
Don’s hands were always busy and his heart was always open to help others
His garage and workshop were more than just spaces—they were sanctuaries of curiosity and creativity
One of his greatest joys was amateur radio
a passion he formally embraced in 1976 when he earned his first call sign
Don formed lasting friendships that spanned nearly five decades
he devoted even more time to the amateur radio community—generously sharing his knowledge
and participating in events such as the Governor’s Cup Race
and countless Saturday morning coffee meetups
Don is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years
Kevin Heide and Greg (Jesse) Heide and Grandson James; his mother
Peggy (Willie) Heide and Nancy (Garold) Carver
Don’s legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched with his kindness

Fair winds and following seas my old Navy friend
The good times and we shared over the last 38 years working on Ham Radio equipment
and driving to many mountain tops with fellow hams are memories that will never be forgotten
That type of friendship and comradery lives on forever to those who participated
Don was not a good friend; he was a lifelong friend
Countless memories come to mind from years ago in Great Falls
and the days and hours spent in other cities
It was always enjoyable to chat about our projects
The richness of Don’s life will be with you as will the many friends of all these years
He was a good friend that I learned a lot from
Sorry for the loss of such a wonderful person
I met Don through the RC model airplane club
but we also worked together on some exhibits for Exploration Works
To me he was always such a neat person that you always wanted to be around
someone at the ham club gave me Don’s name
and I had the pleasure of visiting with him in his shop many times
The company he worked for was looking for a new guy and I was looking for a job
By that summer I was on the payroll in the Seattle area
In December I came back to Montana and began working with Don
We worked together on and off for the next eight years
In 1988 we both moved to Helena due to a large equipment sale
Working together daily I quickly learned of his special abilities both electronically and mechanically
Our friendship grew stronger as we pursued our profession and personal interest
On many occasions I saw Don help people and I was one of them
His abilities and generosity were consistently displayed to the benefit of everyone around him
He was a friend like no other I have ever known
We not only worked together professionally
we assisted each other with several home improvement

The former Boilermaker shared a heartfelt note on social media on Tuesday following news of his transfer commitment to Texas
who spent three years at Purdue and will have two years of eligibility at Texas
entered the transfer portal shortly after the 2024-25 campaign concluded
He is not leaving West Lafayette on sour terms
"Forever grateful for my time at Purdue
I'm extremely blessed for all the memories
relationships and experiences I've had," Heide wrote on Instagram
A post shared by Camden Heide (@cam.heide)
Heide's post was liked by several current and former teammates
He then played a role for the Boilermakers in each of the last two seasons
Heide averaged 4.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game
Heide played particularly well in the NCAA Tournament
recording his first ever double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds in a first round victory over High Point
He also scored nine points in Purdue's Sweet 16 loss to Houston
including one that tied the game at 60-60 with just over 30 seconds to play
it was reported that Heide committed to Texas after entering the transfer portal

The Longhorns made an unexpected depth addition on Friday
The Texas Longhorns made the second NCAA transfer portal addition of new head coach Sean Miller’s tenure on Friday by landing a commitment from former Purdue Boilermakers forward Camden Heide
NEWS: Purdue transfer forward Cam Heide has committed to Texas, he tells @On3sports. The 6-7 sophomore averaged 4.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game this season. https://t.co/M1M7SlY4QM pic.twitter.com/0RjPNeO21R
205-pounder has two seasons of eligibility remaining as a rising redshirt junior
A Minneapolis product who spent his senior season at Wasatch Academy in Utah, Heide was a consensus four-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class ranked as the No. 135 player nationally and the No. 32 small forward, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Heide signed with Purdue over offers from Creighton, Iowa, Marquette, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio State, Texas, Wisconsin, and Virginia Tech
Heide suffered a foot injury that forced him to redshirt his first season in West Lafayette before appearing in all 39 games in 2023-24
Heide shot 45 percent from three and his effective field-goal percentage of .682 was the best of any high-major freshman who attempted at least 75 shots
His put-back dunk against UConn in the national championship game was instant highlight material
This dunk from Camden Heide #collegebasketball #purdue #finalfour
and 0.4 assists in 19.7 minutes per game while starting eight games
Heide was a two-level player as a redshirt sophomore
recording 10 dunks and shooting 81.5 percent around the rim
but he only attempted four mid-range shots while hitting 31 threes at a rate of 39.2 percent
So Heide is a solid effort player who mostly comes off the bench with high-level athleticism
and the versatility to defend multiple positions
His defensive rebounding rate of 17.1 percent was extremely good and he doesn’t turn the ball over
but he’s also a low-usage role player who doesn’t create plays for his teammates with an assist rate of just 3.5 percent
He’ll work for space off the ball for spot-up shots and cuts well
scoring without needing sets designed to get him looks

2025 — Heide Dürr has been awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for her social commitment
honors the work of the Heinz and Heide Dürr Foundation
The Berlin-based foundation focuses on early-years education
as well as research projects in various scientific fields
The Heinz and Heide Dürr Foundation was set up in 1998 and supports projects throughout Germany
One of Heide Dürr's key foundation goals is to establish the Early Excellence approach for early-years education
Early Excellence aims to provide individual support in nurseries and daycare centers and involves parents in their children’s educational processes
“Every child must have the chance to receive a good education — right from the start and regardless of their background
We are committed to this social responsibility,” says Heide Dürr
Even after the passing of her husband in 2023
Heide Dürr remains a driving force behind the foundation’s work as a Supervisory Board member
Examples of the Heinz and Heide Dürr Foundation’s broad-ranging commitment include the German Daycare Award
and research projects on artificial intelligence and human genetics
said: “I would like to thank Heide Dürr for her tireless commitment and drive
The foundation of Heinz and Heide Dürr has long been an integral part of the foundation landscape
It has enabled the support of over 500 Early Excellence institutions with more than 10,000 professionals across Germany
as well as the training of specialist staff.”
The Heinz and Heide Dürr Foundation holds 3.5% of the shares in Dürr AG
The foundation uses the funds from the annual dividend payout for its work
The Dürr Group is one of the world's leading mechanical and plant engineering firms with particular expertise in the technology fields of automation
and services enable highly efficient and sustainable manufacturing processes – mainly in the automotive industry and for producers of furniture and timber houses
but also in sectors such as the chemical and pharmaceutical industries
the company generated sales of €4.7 billion
The Dürr Group has around 20,000 employees and 139 business locations in 33 countries
the former divisions Paint and Final Assembly Systems and Application Technology were merged to form the new Automotive division

The mescaline trip did not end with the lightbulb. The drug led to Heide’s own break with traditional theater and gave birth to the author of 25 Plays.
“Then out on the street they were taking me home and I was going in and out, in and out. Then I stop, I look at the sky, at the stars, and I said, oh my god. There is no time. We’re just in this eternity,” he recalls. “Then I realized that all these plays were pushing time forward, distracting the audience—it isn’t what I wanted to do. I wanted to do something existential.”
Heide was writing plays before he joined the Cino cohort, often receiving negative reviews from befuddled mainstream critics such as Judith Crist. His plays were some of the first ever to deal openly with homosexuality, especially West of the Moon, and it did not initially award him much fanfare.
“I didn’t know this, I was just naïve. You couldn’t mention the word gay or homosexual. It wasn’t mentioned in the New York Times,” Heide tells me. “Reviews I got said: ‘Robert Heide should go home and break his typewriter over his hands.’ ‘Robert Heide will never write another play again.’ And I was devastated.”
After the bad reviews, some of Heide’s close friends suggested he move to Paris. His own Left Bank, however, turned out to be waiting on Cornelia Street.
“Joe [Cino] had seen West of the Moon and he said, ‘I want you to write a play just like it for two blonde Nazi men.’ That’s the expression he used—he’s Italian, so we have to forgive him. But what he meant was he wanted two sexy men. So that’s what happened.”
Out of Cino’s request came Heide’s most performed play, The Bed, filmed by Andy Warhol, who heralded it as a work of genius. Two men, presumably lovers, never leave their bed, except to withdraw money deposited by a parent or purchase another burger or slice of pizza. One of them, Jim, starts itching to escape the lifestyle, while the other, Jack, scorns him for doing so. At the end, Jim leaves to buy a cup of coffee. Jack buries his head in his hands, and the curtain drops.
“I had been through such a relationship where I had been holed up with somebody, drinking and not getting out of the bed or the apartment,” Heide says, recalling the time of life in which he composed the play. “[The Bed] wasn’t waving a flag saying, ‘I’m gay.’ It was about the dissolution of a relationship. Not a happy gay sexy relationship.”
“The whole idea was that [The Bed] would be microscopic,” he continues. “You’re looking at these people, and it could also be outer space. They did it at [defunct Lower East Side theater] Speedy’s with a dirty mattress and dirty sheets. I don’t mind, people can do what they want. There was a production in New Orleans recently where the two men…had the mattresses tied to their backs. Go figure that.”
The Bed’s subtext is even more complex than it first appears. The books that Heide has read more than any other help to elucidate: Heidegger’s Being and Time and Sartre’s Being and Nothingness. Norman O. Brown’s psychoanalytic study of history, Life Against Death, which is currently undergoing a minor revival, also ranks with his favorites.
“Death is in the room every day. We’re living and dying every day, not just living. That was the idea of the whole hippie movement, really embracing life in its fullest,” he explains. “They were against working. They had free food stores in San Francisco. There’s so much to be learned by that, but then suddenly it was over.”
Despite the following decade’s reputation as a period of “sexual revolution,” Heide sees a stark contrast between the cultures of the ‘60s and ‘70s, believing the latter was plagued with a nihilism that, despite its share of darker undertones, the former had avoided through renewed interest in spirituality and world religions. Behind the new supposed privileges of liberation, Heide prophetically felt a pall looming in the wings that would soon prove him correct.
“Guys would be on Christopher Street cruising, and their penises would be showing,” he says, still with a slightly incredulous tone. “The cops didn’t even care. It seemed to me, after Stonewall, nobody cared about anything. I had a feeling one night in the late ‘70s, something’s gotta give in all this, something’s going on here. I didn’t know what it was. But what it was was this medieval disease about to strike.”
After AIDS decimated Downtown bars and hangouts, Heide wrote for New York Native, an AIDS information newspaper. “I’d write an article about Charles Ludlam, or maybe a book about Lana Turner or James Dean. Just to bring back the gay sensibility,” he says.
Robert Heide’s 25 Plays will be released in Fall 2017 by Fast Books. For more information, visit www.fastbookspress.com.

WEST LAFAYETTE − Cam Heide became instrumental for Purdue basketball in the postseason

Playing in all 75 games over the past two seasons
Heide averaged 3.9 points and 2.7 rebounds
including 4.7 points and 3.6 rebounds in 36 games this season
Heide proved pivotal in the postseason as a rebounder and recorded his first career double-double in the NCAA Tournament first round win over High Point

Friday night's 62-60 defeat at the hands of Houston in the Sweet 16 was even more difficult
as it brought an end to Purdue's season
Sophomore Camden Heide said the brotherhood that's been created in the Boilermakers locker room made that loss even tougher
Purdue fought tooth and nail in Friday's Sweet 16 game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis
Trailing by as many as 10 points in the second half
Heide connected on a three-pointer from the corner to tie the game at 60-60 with less than one minute to play
Houston ran a baseline out of bounds play to perfection
resulting in an easy bucket for Milos Uzan with 0.9 seconds remaining
That was the game-winning basket for the Cougars
advancing to the Elite Eight and bringing an end to Purdue's season
Heide explained how the connectedness in the locker room made the loss even more difficult
"It's never easy losing, it doesn't matter if it's a Big Ten game, nonconference game, whatever it is, it's never easy losing," Heide said following the Sweet 16 loss
"I think it's even worse when you have a family in the locker room
Guys are extremely competitive and want to win and want to be here
"You put so much time in with these teammates and they become your brothers
for Purdue and everyone in this locker room
Heide's words speak to the culture that coach Matt Painter and his staff have created in West Lafayette
He's also talked at length about leaning on his teammates at times when he struggled with his confidence
especially for a program that has won at such a high level in recent years
perhaps the Sweet 16 loss to Houston will provide even more motivation for the Boilermakers do to something special in the 2025-26 campaign

IOWA CITY, Iowa − PJ Thompson is the reassuring voice Cam Heide needed
When Daniel Jacobsen suffered a fractured tibia in early November, it altered Purdue basketball's plans for the 2024-25 season
One direct result was Heide's role changing
With that came new challenges — guarding in the post and drawing bigger forwards away from the basket as a four among them
And the new variances to his role also sometimes led to self doubt and at times dwindling confidence
I'll tell him you're a really good player and Purdue needs you
"Everything's not going to be where you want it when you want it
if you have the right attitude and approach to things
but I think it kind of stems from how you prepare," Heide said
That proved beneficial early in the season
Heide elevated himself into a starting role at the four by the sixth game
He scored 28 combined points in the next two games and his 15 points were pivotal in a Big Ten win over Maryland
His offense was supposed to offset defensive liabilities guarding larger players
but he had to go up against (Texas) A&M and he had to go up against Auburn
"I don't know if that was the best matchup."
his only stats other than one assist in 17 minutes
When Big Ten play resumed at Minnesota on Jan
More: Surrounded by chaos, Purdue basketball's calming influence trickled down to hero vs. IU
"Any time something like that happens it puts you back a step," junior guard Fletcher Loyer said
"He's still putting in the same amount of work."
Heide was called upon to pick up opposing point guards and guard them down the floor
he was trying to hold off players posting him up who had several inches in height advantage
He went from a player known for his impressive dunks and timely 3-pointers to someone who had four fouls in 12 minutes against Northwestern with no other statistics
Thompson would text inspirational quotes and constantly reminded Heide he was the player who had come through in wins over Maryland and North Carolina State more so than the player who was going through a brief slump
"When guys have the right attitude and approach to the game
normally you're going to find success," Thompson said last week
"He'll help us at the right time and it'll be worth everything."
In Purdue's last four games, Heide has been an unsung hero, one of the difference makers in wins at Oregon and against Indiana
senior Caleb Furst got into foul trouble and Heide saw minutes increase as a result
Heide's 3-pointer early in the second half at Oregon spurred a Boilermaker run
He finished with nine points and four rebounds in 22 minutes
Heide's presence as an athlete was needed to help combat the Hoosiers' rebounding advantage
He led the Boilermakers in rebounds with five (two offensive)
also scoring five points and drawing two fouls
including one of the five on Oumar Ballo that led to him fouling out
Now Heide again appears pivotal in Purdue's Big Ten title hopes
a position he originally slid into when Jacobsen was lost for the season
sometimes even five if they're small," Loyer said
"I am just pushing him to really make sure he knows he's going to help this team go far."

Heide has committed to Texas and will have two years of eligibility to use with the Longhorns
Heide entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal earlier this week after completing his second season with the Boilermakers
He averaged 4.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game during his sophomore campaign
Heide finished the 2024-25 season on a high note at Purdue
playing his best basketball in March Madness
In a 75-63 win over High Point in the opening round
he recorded his first career double-double
scoring 10 points and collecting 11 rebounds
he scored five points and grabbed two rebounds
Heide scored nine points and grabbed five rebounds in Purdue's Sweet 16 loss to Houston
which included a game-tying shot from the corner with just over 30 seconds to play in the second half
Heide appeared in 75 career games and averaged 3.9 points and 2.7 rebounds
The 6-foot-7 forward was a three-star prospect out of high school
Heide joins a Texas program that finished the 2024-25 campaign with a 19-16 record and lost in the First Four round of the NCAA Tournament
as Texas recently hired veteran coach Sean Miller to take over for Rodney Terry
PAINTER TALKS CLUFF ADDITION: Purdue made a huge splash in the transfer portal, landing 6-foot-11 center Oscar Cluff. Coach Matt Painter talked about adding a physical big man to the roster. CLICK HERE

WEST LAFAYETTE − Cam Heide came to the bench frustrated with himself during last week's season opener against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi
smacked a chair after missing a 3-pointer from the corner
his second missed attempt from beyond the arc
Purdue basketball has a good problem, a roster with too many good players
it means if you don't capitalize quickly on the minutes you're given
those minutes might be few and far between
'Fire Walters.' Purdue asks Paint Crew student section to halt chants about football coach
Insider: What Daniel Jacobsen's season-ending injury means for Boilers
"You go through struggles and you go through bad games
but you have to know the work you put in and the hours you put in outside of practice time and in the weight room that everything is going to work out whether you play five minutes or you play 20," Heide said
going 0-for-2 from the field and providing three rebounds and a block
Coach Matt Painter's frustration with Heide wasn't in the two shots he missed
but in the two open shots he didn't even attempt
You're a 40% 3-point shooter," Painter said
you normally give us a pretty good chance to rebound those long rebounds
I am not upset at all for him getting two good shots and missing it."
What also limited Heide's playing time in that game was the fact another role player was capitalizing on his minutes
Myles Colvin sank four first half 3s and the Boilermakers were going to run with the hot hand
Colvin knows the drill as much as Heide does
"I am just trying to be as efficient as I can offensively and defensively no matter how many minutes I play," Colvin said
"I am just looking for my opportunities and being aggressive
Coaches want me to shoot the ball and I’ve put in a lot of time to be able to do the things I’m doing
so it’s just a matter of trusting my work."
Last Friday, Heide played 16 minutes and scored a pair of free throws late in a win over Northern Kentucky and Colvin
Heide has lineup flexibility and, especially now with the loss of Daniel Jacobsen to a fractured tibia
could see more minutes playing as a stretch big
Colvin and Heide also shared the floor some during the second half against Northern Kentucky
But their games are similar and how much playing time is available on a given day will depend on the impact they quickly make after coming off the bench
Both are 3-and-D players who also have no shortage of highlight-reel worthy dunks
Painter's philosophy is to not go into a game with preconceived notions of minutes disparity
it's the same situation both found themselves in last season
"Our roles can change any day," Heide said
"With our athleticism and ability to shoot the ball
we can both kind of have a similar role and kind of go wherever coach Painter needs us to."
Colvin and Heide will be taking their talents to the ACC and SEC
The transfer portal giveth and the transfer portal taketh
Purdue has learned it will lose two high-flying wings in Myles Colvin and Camden Heide
It was first announced that Myles Colvin entered the transfer portal on Monday
3 days following Purdue’s loss to Houston in the Sweet Sixteen
NEWS: Purdue guard Myles Colvin has entered the transfer portal, per @247Sports source.Former four-star recruit that averaged 5.4 points, 2.6 rebounds this season.https://t.co/UvVafMVONK pic.twitter.com/d9keOMCoCb
was stuck in a bench role in Purdue’s offensive scheme where he was mostly utilized as a spot up shooter on offense
Myles was 7th in the Purdue rotation by minutes per game (17.8) and he averaged 5.4 points and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 31.3% from 3 on 131 attempts
Where Myles really developed well was the defensive side of the ball
His ability to stay in front of someone with the ball with his athletic ability was a nice development
his hard work showed in an increase of minutes as he averaged 22.3 minutes in Purdue’s 3 NCAA Tournament contests
Myles would average 6.3 points and 3 rebounds for those 3 games while putting up one of the best dunks of the tournament
The angles are NASTY #MarchMadness @BoilerBall https://t.co/njAJ1crbeJ pic.twitter.com/nFpRngNnck
Today it was announced that Myles will be exchanging his old gold and black uniform for another gold and black as he will transfer to Wake Forest
This will give Myles a fresh start in North Carolina and the chance to apply his entire skillset
Purdue transfer guard Myles Colvin (@mylesjcolvin) has committed to Wake Forest. The former Four-Star averaged 5.4 PPG and 2.6 RPG this past season.https://t.co/Z5bYN42ddP pic.twitter.com/8DTaAPBNLF
3 days following Myles’ entering the transfer portal
Camden Heide also announced he was entering on April 2nd

including a game tying 3 with under a minute left against Houston
Cam’s other major impact on the floor was rebounding the basketball
respectively) directly helped the Boilermakers win games
Cam was actually 4th in the Purdue rotation in terms of minutes per game at 19.7
and often was the first alternate for Caleb Furst
Cam averaged 4.7 points and 3.6 assists on the year while shooting 39.2% from deep on 79 attempts
you may also remember Cam’s epic dunk from last year’s National Championship game

Former Purdue basketball player Camden Heide's next stop will take him to an SEC program in transition
On3 reported Friday Heide plans to transfer to Texas. He became the fourth Boilermaker to enter the transfer portal last Wednesday
but is the first to announce a destination
Heide joins former Xavier coach Sean Miller, who took over the Longhorns last month
The 6-foot-7 Heide became a mid-season starter for an eight-game stretch as coach Matt Painter leaned into a small-ball lineup
He remained a rotation mainstay all season
3.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists over 19.7 minutes
Purdue portal tracker: Who's in, out for Matt Painter's Boilermakers
Late in the second he became a more productive rebounder
He also made 10 of 16 from 3-point range (63.5%) in postseason games
pushing his season average to just short of 40%
Texas fired coach Rodney Terry after two-plus seasons when the Longhorns lost in the NCAA tournament's First Four
Editor's note: Camden Heide has committed to Texas. Read full story here
WEST LAFAYETTE — Camden Heide became instrumental for Purdue basketball in the postseason
who started eight games this season as a redshirt sophomore
including 4.7 to go with 3.6 rebounds in 36 games this season
Insider: Camden Heide's instincts took over in torrid finish to Purdue basketball season
The Boilermakers also added center Oscar Cluff from South Dakota State
INDIANAPOLIS — In Purdue basketball’s moment of utmost urgency Thursday night, Camden Heide responded with clarity
they needed his two 3-pointers — and really could have used the one he didn’t shoot — to counter the Trojans’ 11-0 run
they needed each of his nine rebounds — his second such lockdown performance on the boards after halftime in the past couple of weeks
Purdue’s best chance at a deep run this week — and in the weeks to follow — depends on a team beginning to touch the promise everyone believes it can attain a year from now
It depends on role players rising to the occasion and single plays which thwart the line between gut-wrenching upset and survive-and-advance practicality
Purdue player ratings: How much would Kaufman-Renn score without foul trouble?
on a night when the Boilermakers came dangerously close to unraveling and limping home early
Heide turned in a similar performance — with similar stakes — two weeks earlier against UCLA
already reeling from a four-game losing streak
took a beating on the defensive boards in that first half
Heide grabbed nine second-half rebounds and helped flip the second-chance equation in a crucial victory
poised performance — one the Boilermakers expect more regularly now from those players with the battle scars of a first-round exit
a Final Four run and this season’s ongoing evolution
Making shots and asserting himself on the boards are more connected than one might assume
Purdue coach Matt Painter did not see it early Thursday
from Heide or from a large portion of his roster
and obviously we want him to shoot the basketball," Painter said
"He had a couple chances right as he got in the game to get 50-50 balls
"That was kind of the energy of our team at that time
USC needed two overtimes on Wednesday night to beat Rutgers in the opening round
The energy and stamina advantages would presumably be in Purdue’s favor
the Boilermakers turned the ball over seven times in the first 12 minutes
USC built a 28-18 lead with 7:14 to play in the first half
The one element which worked was Kaufman-Renn's interior presence — when he was not on the bench with foul trouble
He had already scored eight points when USC sagged in- to deny him
opening Heide for a 3-pointer to end that 11-0 run
He had another open look less than a minute later — and in a reversion to early season form
As the Purdue-heavy crowd admonished him for the choice
the play devolved into a shot-clock violation
players -- I think my dad was probably yelling at me too
Heide did not pass up the next opportunity
hitting another 3 to close the deficit to two
Kaufman-Renn scored on the next trip to tie the game 28-28
A potentially massive pothole had been avoided
Money matters: Where does Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter rank among highest-paid coaches? Pretty high
It could not consistently limit Desmond Claude
as the Xavier transfer juked and weaved his way to 14 points after halftime
An upset loss — and its potential damage to the Boilermakers’ NCAA tournament seeding — hinged on the defensive grit absent from multiple late-season losses
After Kaufman-Renn's bucket tied the game 67-67 with 5:14 to play
Heide grabbed the defensive rebound at the other end
Smith’s driving layup with 3:42 left put the Boilers up by two
USC then gave itself three looks at the game-tying basket by grabbing a pair of offensive rebounds
Heide’s rebound finally flipped the possession
Kaufman-Renn put back his own miss at the other end for a 71-67 lead
Claude responded with baskets on consecutive possessions to tie it
the Trojans put the ball back in their star’s hands
Painter said after the game Purdue was "lucky" Claude missed a pullup jumper in the lane
Heide secured the rebound and Kaufman-Renn sealed the win at the free throw line
Heide had one career game with more than six rebounds
"As you get older and you've been around the block a time or two
you know how -- especially at this time of the year -- it gets tougher and even more difficult," senior Caleb Furst aid
"Other teams are more keen into their scouting report
We've got to be more keen into our couting report
It's definitely something that comes with age and experience."
Getting veteran minutes from players like Heide will almost always transslate into getting productive minutes from them
It's why Purdue wakes up Friday with another late-night game to play
Sign up for BoilerUpdate to receive the latest Purdue news
Per reports from On3's Joe Tipton, Purdue Boilermakers transfer forward Camden Heide has committed to Texas after spending the past two seasons under head coach Matt Painter
He entered the portal on Wednesday and didn't take long to make his decision
There was no reported buzz surrounding Heide and Texas
as his commitment came from out of nowhere
he joins Xavier wing Dailyn Swain as the first two players to transfer to Texas in the Miller era
averaged 4.7 points and 3.6 rebounds this past season while starting eight of 36 games
he hit a pair of clutch triples in the final five minutes that nearly sent the game to overtime
including one that tied the game with 35 seconds left
Miller said during his introductory press conference that the team intends to play fast
Having a shooter like Heide there to space the floor while also offering solid size is clearly something Miller sees benefiting the offense
"Certainly recognize there's a number of programs in the SEC that are playing a style that is unique
using the three point shot more than ever before
playing at a pace that maybe the great teams of the past didn't necessarily play as fast
but that's what I believe in," Miller said
there's no way you can do it by scoring and out scoring people in college basketball
the defense is so much a part of the talent that you have when you think of basketball
people think of talent on the offensive end
that right there impacts the defensive side of the ball
perhaps even more here you have to be great at both."
The Longhorns will need to keep stacking commits over the coming weeks in order to put together a competitive roster for next season
ZACH DIMMITT
The sophomore wing had an up and down season but finished shooting 60% from behind the arc the final eleven games of the season
Purdue Boilermakers wing Camden Heide has entered the portal with an intention to transfer according Paolo Zamorano of Prodigy Sports group that represents Heide
That is a big loss for the Boilers who saw Heide finish the season as one of the hottest shooters in the country shooting 60% (15/25) over the final 11 games of the season
He also grew into one of the program’s better rebounders as he averaged 4 rebounds per game over that same stretch
A highly athletic wing capable of guarding multiple positions
Heide flashed as a super-athletic player with a massive upside because of his shooting ability
Best known for his highlight reel dunk in last year’s national championship game
Heide grew into a more complete player as a sophomore this year
Heide averaged 4.7 points and 3.6 rebounds while playing an average of 19.6 minutes per game
With the addition of transfer frontcourt player Oscar Cluff and a return of Daniel Jacobsen from injury
it was likely that Heide would not be able to work his way into the starting lineup and may actually see a potential decrease in minutes
TKR is likely going to see his minutes stay consistent around 30mpg while the addition of Cluff and Jacobsen means most of the minutes will come at the power forward position that Heide has played
Heide will be a highly valued target for other programs but there is no indication of any schools reaching out for contact at this time
It should be noted that Heide’s family recently moved to Alabama from Minnesota but there is no indication that would be a deciding factor on where he may eventually decide to go
Miles Heide’s play the last two games helped propel the Aztecs to wins over USD and CA Baptist
every individual feels that they can bring something to the table
They believe in themselves and want to play
Waiting your turn can be a struggle for most
it’s hard not to notice players that perform well after not making an impact earlier in the season
The “Next Man Up” mentality is what makes sports compelling
This term isn’t always reserved for injuries
a player gets his moment to shine by practicing hard
Miles Heide is showing signs of progression because he remained patient
Heide understands San Diego State’s culture as one of the few returning players. The sophomore is a key contributor in rebounding and that is an important part of Aztec Basketball
Heide only played nine minutes in the season opener and did not score
He then scored six points and grabbed eight rebounds against Division III Occidental
and played only 39 combined minutes across five games
but Heide never gave up the hope that he would be needed to play crucial minutes for the team
Heide’s rebounding was a big part of the Aztecs pulling away and winning
He even played late in both games over Magoon Gwath and Jared Coleman-Jones because Heide grabbed rebounds in bunches
Against USD, the sophomore grabbed nine rebounds with eight points on 4/5 shooting in 18 minutes (the most all season). Against the Lancers this past Wednesday, Heide scored 10 points on 5-5 shooting and had five rebounds (four offensive)
The forward even recorded his first steal of the year
the confidence wasn’t there,” Heide admitted postgame against CA Baptist
and I’m willing to go out there and play my role for the team and do whatever I can to help us win.”
Head coach Brian Dutcher expressed that in his opening statement after the win against California Baptist
“It was our rebounding that betrayed us,” Dutcher said postgame
and we have to have better rebounders on the floor—one of the two
We have to find a way to turn really good defense into possessions for us
We got young bigs that have to get better every day
The only negative of the game was rebounding.”
“Yeah (Heide) was really good on the offensive glass,” Dutcher said when asked about his sophomore’s performance
“I thought at the end he was in there a lot when we couldn’t get the ball either
He has to do a better job on the defensive glass
SDSU played a very good rebounding team when they defeated No
6 Houston in Las Vegas for the Players Era Festival
Houston only had a 40-38 rebounding advantage
There will be games down the road where rebounding will be needed to win the game late
If Heide can show that he can rebound when others can’t
then he will continue to earn minutes in crunch time

Chris is an athlete and is a huge fan of San Diego sports
— The confidence issues that Camden Heide talked about earlier this season seem to have faded into the distance
The sophomore wing played a pivotal role in Purdue's 75-63 win over High Point in the first round of the NCAA Tournament
recording the first double-double of his career
Heide ended Thursday's first round game with 11 points and 10 rebounds
He iced away the game by throwing down a wide-open dunk with 44 seconds remaining
That slam secured the sophomore's double-double as well as a victory for Purdue
It was a big moment for Heide — a player who has gone through plenty of ups and downs over the course of the 2024-25 season
he produced the best performance of his career
honestly," Heide said following Thursday's game
"I think it goes for a lot of people in this room
everybody can go through ups and downs with life and on the basketball court
"You can never be too high or too low — anything can happen at any moment
It's about looking forward to what's next
there's always another opportunity to play
That's what we're here to do."
To understand the significance of Heide's performance on Thursday
the sophomore had scored just two total points and collected only five rebounds
six-rebound effort in a 92-84 victory over Yale
It may not have looked like much on the stat sheet
but those buckets came at pivotal times in the game
he revealed that he had battled confidence issues to begin the year
At the time, he said he was relying heavily on his teammates for support and encouragement
It's been no different for Heide over the course of the season
Perhaps the greatest motivator for him has been Braden Smith
who has been barking at the sophomore to start taking more shots when he gets the opportunities
"Braden has been on my ass a lot for me not shooting the ball
Why would I not want someone pushing me?" Heide said
"I think he's the best player in the country
The opportunities for Heide aren't as frequent as they are for Smith
the sophomore has taken full advantage of the chances he has gotten
Heide was four-of-six from the floor in Thursday's win over High Point
He's now connected on 14 of his last 20 shot attempts from the floor
He's also crashing the glass at a high rate
grabbing 10 in Thursday's win and 11 in last week's victory over USC in the Big Ten Tournament
Heide is playing with a lot more confidence than he did at the beginning of the season
It's not just the success on the court that is providing that extra jolt
it's the work he's put in since Purdue started practicing in June
everybody puts the work in," Heide said
500 shots per day in the middle of the season
it comes from everybody on our team wanting to be ready
PURDUE GAME STORY: No. 4-seed Purdue grabbed 19 offensive rebounds, and all those extra possessions helped the Boilermakers knock off High Point 75-63 in their first-round NCAA Tournament game Thursday in Providence, R.I. Trey Kaufman-Renn had 21 points, and Braden Smith added 20. CLICK HERE

New Texas coach Sean Miller has added another key piece to the Longhorns men's basketball team. Former Purdue forward Camden Heide has committed to the Horns via the transfer portal
Heide initially entered the transfer portal on April 2
The 6-foot-7 redshirt sophomore averaged 4.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game while shooting 49.1% from the floor and 39.2% from three-point range this season
Heide had a good game in Purdue’s season-ending loss to Houston in the Sweet Sixteen
scoring nine points and grabbing five rebounds
His season high came in December against Maryland when he went for 15-points
Heide played high school basketball at Wayzata (MN), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 130 overall player and No. 33 small forward in the 2022 recruiting cycle in the On3 Industry Ranking
Heide is the fourth Purdue player to enter the transfer portal this offseason

WEST LAFAYETTE — To conclude a Purdue basketball week dominated by talk of accountability
Camden Heide took a proverbial halftime look in the mirror
Heide heard a week's worth of his coaches' emphasis on fighting downhill and playing physical ringing in his ears Friday night
He called his first half “soft." Matt Painter did not use that term
but after the game enumerated three different instances where his third-year wing let possessions slip away
Over the previous two weeks, the Boilermakers could not make the connection from identifying a problem to correcting it. That deficiency, and the four-game losing streak which accompanied it, ended with a 76-66 victory over UCLA
Purdue player ratings: Trey Kaufman-Renn backs up talk, losing skid ends
How’s this for an individual response: Heide grabbed nine rebounds in 12 minutes
With that game-changing effort supporting typically prolific paint production from Trey Kaufman-Renn and Braden Smith’s clutch second half
Purdue confronted another skittish second half and conquered it
Purdue’s Big Ten championship hopes vanished during that losing skid
remain more crucial than ever as the calendar flips into March
“I think it kind of affected everybody," Heide said of a week of reflection which included a players-only meeting called by Kaufman-Renn
There's certain things like going to hit your guy and going to get the ball
There's so many small details that we emphasize every week in practice
Especially at halftime — I had to be better
I had to take accountability for stuff and do the best that I can to help the team.”
Purdue's two-week tumble from Big Ten front-runner to fading fast posed a chicken-before-the-egg question
Does a team need poise and confidence in order to execute
or does execution bring a team poise and confidence
They are the final steps below “competitive success” — only achievable after other factors such as “self-control,” “cooperation” and “skill” have been achieved
The funk which smothered the team the past two weeks rolled in again Friday
Purdue built a double-digit lead in the first half
UCLA made a familiar surge in the final minutes of the first half
then built off that momentum into the second
Throwback threads: Family bond preserved only known John Wooden Purdue basketball jersey to exist
the Boilermakers summoned a finishing move
A recently reeling squad galvanized itself by making more winning plays than its defensively fierce
“It’s what you’re supposed to do,” Painter said
“You’re supposed to get into tight games right there and enjoy it
Looking like their old selvesPurdue's two biggest stars returned to form
Kaufman-Renn scored 29 points on 15 field goal attempts and backed up his public ownership of the recent slide
Smith scored 23 on a night headlined by his ascent to Purdue's career assists lead
Yet his two biggest plays came elsewhere on the box score
Insider: From lightly recruited Mr. Basketball, Braden Smith became Purdue's most prolific passer
Purdue led by three again with under six minutes to play when Heide missed a late shock-clock 3
With UCLA potentially able to tie the game going the other way
Smith swooped in from the other side of the lane to grab the offensive rebound
The extended possession led to a Kaufman-Renn basket for his sixth straight points
UCLA posted up second-leading scorer Eric Dailey Jr
Before the Bruins’ field goal percentage leader could make his move
Smith swooped in from behind for his fourth steal
Fletcher Loyer added another a minute later
and the Boilermakers reclaimed something they’d so sorely missed in recent closing stretches: command
Purdue led at halftime in three of the four straight losses
It trailed at Michigan State by two in the other
mostly because UCLA kept undercutting the Boilers’ defensive stops by dominating the glass
The Bruins grabbed 10 offensive rebounds in the same first half in which Purdue managed seven total rebounds
They built a 9-0 advantage on second-chance points
A continuation of that trend quite likely would extend the growing existential crisis of the losing streak
Heide took it upon himself to turn the tables
He started running down long caroms or using his jumping ability to clean the glass
Purdue began capitalizing on almost every second-chance opportunity — going 6 for 6 from the field off its six offensive boards (and one deadball rebound)
They included an and-one and a pair of 3-pointers
The Boilermakers won second-chance points 16-0 in the second half
What nearly broke them in the first 20 minutes carried them in the final 20
Painter called it a "great win" he hopes will boost his team's confidence with season-defining challenges ahead
this team appeared to have all the confidence it needed
the Wayzata native will be looking for a new home
Heide was a dominant force at Wayzata High School, where he led the Trojans to the AAAA state title in 2021 as a junior. He transferred to Wasatch Academy in Utah for his senior season of high school basketball. He was a four-star prospect in the class of 2022 and chose Purdue over top offers from Minnesota, Marquette and Wisconsin.
He struggled to find a specific role with Purdue, but it was clear that the talent was there. He began to put it together in the NCAA Tournament with his first career double-double against High Point in the first round with 11 points and 10 rebounds, but he averaged only 4.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game for the season.
The competition will likely be fierce for Heide in the transfer portal market. He's a versatile forward who shot 80.6% from the free throw line and 39.2% from three last season. The desire to come back home and play for the Gophers might not be as strong for Heide as some recruits, as he and his family have bounced around since his time at Wayzata.
New Gophers head coach Niko Medved has historically favored smaller lineups, and a player with Heide's skillset would fit perfectly in the frontcourt. He was recruited by a different Minnesota staff out of high school, but the stylistic fit is too strong to overlook. The Gophers would have a long list of competition, but Heide is a player worth monitoring.
Sela Heide needs tickets for Saturday’s game against San Diego
but for family members and friends who will be attending Oregon State’s regular season home finale against San Diego
Heide is one of five seniors who will be honored in the traditional senior day ceremony
“I think I’m going to need to figure out how to get 18 (tickets),” Heide said
“The beautiful part about our family is that we all play basketball
But the hard part about that is my little brother will also have district playoffs on the same day.”
is a sophomore at Mount Si High in Snoqualmie
If his team loses in the state playoffs he will be able to attend
Heide wants to be prepared as her family celebrates her time as an Oregon State basketball player
That is an experience she shares with both of her parents
Sissel (Pierce) Heide played at Oregon State from 1997-2000
Oregon State senior Sela Heide is joined by sister Scarlet
there’s people I see at Sela’s game that were there when I played,” Sissel Heide said
Beaver Nation that just showed up for us.”
If that shared family experience seems inevitable now
Sissel Heide would never have attended Oregon State
She had originally committed to play for coach Judy Spoelstra at Montana State
But when Spoelstra left that job to follow Aki Hill at Oregon State
Oregon State was a dream school for me because that’s where my grandfather went,” Sissel Heide said
Sela Heide’s recruiting process had its own changes in direction
She suffered a knee injury in the spring of her junior year and wasn’t able to play the club circuit that summer
“The offers she did have on the table kind of went away,” Sissel Heide said
Sela Heide bounced back with a strong senior year
averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds per game
But Oregon State wasn’t really an option at the time as coach Scott Rueck already had a crowded frontcourt
So she chose to attend California and play for the Golden Bears
It was a decision her parents understood completely
“They were just supportive about whatever I wanted to do and wherever I saw the best fit for myself,” Sela Heide said
which was helpful because I definitely had other people outside my family who were like
but had to sit out almost all of her second year due to injury
While the on-court experience was frustrating at times
she took full advantage of her academic opportunity
earning a degree in media studies with a focus in law and policy in just three years
she was ready to look for a different basketball opportunity and this time around
Rueck had a star player in the post — Raegan Beers — but the team lacked depth at that position
brought great size as well as experience to that role
This wasn’t the first time Rueck had signed a player with deep ties to Oregon State
Rueck thinks that shared family history can provide extra motivation and he thinks Heide’s experience is “as cool as it gets.”
“I think it’s really special to be a legacy
It just means a lot for her to get to play on the court and walk the same halls that her parents played in and walked,” Rueck said
“I always think there’s just a little added incentive to succeed and protect the culture and the place if it’s truly a part of you.”
Sela Heide said she sometimes can’t believe she’s actually at Oregon State
“It’s still kind of crazy to me that things ended up working out the way that they did
But it’s just such a blessing to get to experience similar things that they did
And to get to be a part of a program that I know my mom helped build at some point is really cool,” Sela Heide said
When she was younger she took for granted the kind of fan support Oregon State women’s basketball has enjoyed over the years
Growing up she mostly went to college games at Oregon State or at Washington
That was during the Kelsey Plum era with the Huskies and that team also drew a big crowd
Sela Heide has been a consistent part of the Beavers' rotation this season and has become an efficient scorer and one of the top shot blockers in the West Coast Conference
But during her time at California she saw that level of support wasn’t always present
“Being on the road and being in gyms that aren’t as full as Gill
it’s definitely a good reminder … to just appreciate the community that we have
There’s only maybe a couple college towns in the U.S
Heide’s goal was to have an impact on the team
But she didn’t know whether that impact would be on or off the court
Through the first four years of her collegiate career
her highest scoring game was 12 points in a Beavers’ win over Arizona State
It quickly became clear this season was going to be different
She scored 26 points in the second game of the year
A few games later she scored 16 points and had 12 rebounds in a nonconference win over Grambling
Heide has continued to be a key part of the rotation in West Coast Conference play
Sometimes she comes off the bench in place of Rees but the duo also spends a lot of minutes on the court together
taking advantage of their size in a high-post
Marotte has had a front-row seat to Heide’s development over the past two seasons
“I think her confidence has just really elevated this year,” Marotte said
a couple games where she hasn’t missed a shot
It’s super fun to see her confidence grow and see her be a bully down there.”
Heide has been very efficient on offense for the Beavers
she went 8 for 9 from the field and scored 16 points
1 she was 7 for 7 from the field on her way to 14 points
That is by far the best shooting percentage in the WCC
but she doesn’t have enough attempts to be eligible for the official list
Heide is part of a long line of Oregon State post players and she credits Rueck for having a great vision for that position and being able to help players reach their potential
“I think it’s apparent to everyone that I’ve improved significantly
I’ve also just grown so much more confident in myself and my game
which has been a really big factor in playing at a higher level,” Heide said
“Just getting to expand my game a little bit
I did not shoot a lot of 15-foot high-post jumpers until I got here and now that’s kind of become a big part of my game this past season
which has been awesome to just contribute in different ways.”
Both of Sela Heide’s brothers are basketball players
is a sophomore who plays at San Diego State
whom Sela Heide describes as “the center of our world” also plays
It doesn’t take much imagination to see that in a few years she might have her own decision to make about where she wants to play
Sissel Heide said for each of the children
just because you play doesn’t mean that your kids should play.’ I totally agree with that
the qualities you gain from being an athlete are so important to carry on through life,” Sissel Heide said
Her family’s experience also gives her an interesting perspective on the remarkable burst of interest in women’s basketball over the past couple of years
Caitlin Clark has become the face of the sport
but a lot of women played a role in this growth over the years
“Back when I was my daughter’s age and younger
“Seeing women’s basketball take off like it has has been incredible.”
After her playing days were over at Oregon State
But she said the pay was so low at the time it just didn’t make financial sense
So she is happy to see salaries and sponsorship opportunities grow for players in the WNBA
And she is thrilled the league is adding three new teams
Sela Heide is proud to be part of a family and an Oregon State basketball program that has played a part in the history of the sport
“My sister’s a decade younger than me so the game is going to be completely different from what we know now when she’s at this level,” she said
“It’ll be cool to see how it progresses and how it just gets better and more competitive.”

With 22 seconds left in the game and Purdue leading 73-71
the junior attempted a floater to tie the game
Camden Heide flew in to collect the critical rebound
Purdue was able to ice away the game at the free throw line and defeated USC 76-71 in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament
That play that Heide made — one of the most important of the game — was a microcosm of his performance in Indianapolis Thursday night
Let's call it like it is: Purdue's energy in the first half was lacking
A night after USC had played Rutgers in a double-overtime game
it was the Boilermakers — not the Trojans — that lacked fire
Heide knocked down a three-pointer to cut into that deficit
he hit another shot from behind the arc to close the gap to just two points
Heide's third basket didn't come until the 11:28 mark of the second half — cutting a 56-52 USC lead down to just one point
It would be the last time he'd score in the game but he wasn't done making an impact
He closed out the night with nine points and 11 rebounds
Every single one of those points and boards mattered
and he was a big part of that," coach Matt Painter said of Heide's play Thursday
and he kept it alive and had a wide open shot and we end up missing it
Heide has endured a roller coaster year of sorts this season
the shots weren't falling and he seemed to struggle with his confidence
the sophomore has provided a big spark off the bench for Purdue
Heide has found ways to become a major contributor for the Boilermakers
regardless of if the shots are going through the basket or not
"Anytime with my kind of role when you can get involved in the game
obviously we have two of the best players in the country
and they normally score a majority of the points
"For someone like me to be able to make a play like a rebound
something that a few people might view as a simple play
but it kind of helps me get engaged in the game
especially a few trips up and down the floor."
The plays from Heide were anything but simple
and they went a long way in helping the Boilermakers advance to the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten Tournament

Dushawn London of 247Sports reported that sophomore Camden Heide is exploring his options outisde of West Lafayette
Heide just completed his third season in West Lafayette
joining the program during the 2022-23 campaign and redshirting as a true freshman
he averaged 4.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game for a Boilermakers squad that finished 24-12 and reached the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament
The rising junior will have two years of eligibility remaining at his next destination
CAM HEIDE TIES IT ‼️@BoilerBall #B1GMBBall via @MarchMadnessMBB pic.twitter.com/MUiwPxhuvL
Heide arrived at Purdue as a three-star prospect out of Wayzata
he averaged 3.9 points and 2.7 rebounds per game
He brought high-flying energy to the floor
with the ability to knock down perimeter shots while also catching plenty of alley-oops during his time in West Lafayette
His putback slam against UConn in the 2024 National Championship Game was one of the highlights of March Madness that year
CAM HEIDE PUTBACK DUNK 😱WOW. #MarchMadness @BoilerBall pic.twitter.com/hngzzLYih2
Heide was a 41.2% shooter from long range in two seasons at Purdue and knocked down 39.2% of his looks this past year
Heide received plenty of attention from Big Ten programs
With multiple players entering the transfer portal, coach Matt Painter and his staff will likely bring in more transfer pieces than necessary in previous seasons. The Boilermakers have already landed former South Dakota State big man Oscar Cluff

“So seeing the results doesn’t really surprise me
Injuries are already a huge issue for the 2024-2025 Aztecs

and hopefully we get those guys back quickly.”
Heide saw the most floor time of the three last season
Heide was the first freshman to play every game since Lamont Butler in 2020-2021
He averaged 8.7 minutes per game and shot 63.3% from the field
Heide’s standout performance came against St
where he secured a season-high nine rebounds
10-inch forward traveled home to North Bend
He discussed becoming a better long-range shooter at this year’s media day
“My three-point shot was a big thing for me over this off-season
I want to be able to expand my range and just space the floor out,” Heide said in an interview
Heide also went over his personal goals for the season ahead
but I also want to get on the defensive team [All-Mountain West Men’s Basketball Defensive Team] this year,” Heide said
After playing in every game of his freshman season
Heide now finds himself in a veteran leadership role for year two
He spoke about his experience and helping out the younger guys
“I think a lot of it’s going to be leadership
I’m one of the guys that’s got a little bit
“For me to be able to share that knowledge to the younger guys and the guys that are coming
it’s gonna be big for me to be able to use my voice.”

The Aztecs were voted to finish fourth in the Mountain West men’s basketball preseason media poll announced on Oct

just because they don’t believe in us,” Lawin said
players expect the same winning culture that the Aztecs are always built on
Anything short of securing the conference title and making a deep tournament run is seen as underperforming
“We’re obviously trying to make it to March Madness
but we want to get back on top of the Mountain West too,” Lawin said
