Lendeborg, who averages 14.4 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, is drawing criticism for making his remarks public.
Jokes aside.
This is a really bad look for Yaxel Lendeborg.

I’m an IU guy who is now rooting for Purdue because of this.
Good. Lord.

Despite the material to fire up Purdue, it may not matter. Michigan is having a historic season, with just a single loss all year.

With Michigan heading on the road Tuesday to face Purdue, one thing is certain: Lendeborg won’t be receiving a warm welcome from the home crowd.
