Maurice Creek’s Impromptu Twitter Chat

Indiana guard Maurice Creek took a lot of time to chat with fans over Twitter.

We’ve all seen the down side of college athletes on Twitter – including lost scholarships and outright abuse from fans.

But Indiana guard Maurice Creek spent late Tuesday night using the Twitter machine in a wholly productive and constructive way by holding an impromptu Q&A session with Hoosier basketball fans.

It began simply enough:

Since I’m on the walk to back to the house…I’ll do an Q & A

After that, it was a free-flowing conversation on basketball, clothes, music and much more. Here’s a sampling:

Head on over to Creek’s Twitter feed for the full chat.

Creek is already one of the more popular Hoosiers, given all he has been through with injuries over the years. This sort of interaction with fans should only cement his popularity.
