It's no secret that IU basketball is back. Aside from beating Kentucky and Ohio State, the season highlights included all the fake accounts that sprung up on Twitter. Our favorite fakes got us through those slow moments and made us LOL during that unbearable first Minnesota game. So who's behind the Twitter handle @TheBigHandsome? We tried our best to find out, 140 characters at a time.

I wanted to be judged on the content of my tweets, not the color of my brand new Ferrari.

Now that it’s the offseason, I’ll probably spend most of my time helping Cody develop his mid-range game, and tweeting every now and then.

I’ll also be announcing his decision to either stay for his second year or go to the draft, so stay tuned.
