Not much into the moral victory thing, but our lack of size and depth bit us. Can't fault the attitude or hustle.
We'll be OK. We'll be OK. We'll be OK.

Good effort. I guess I can't expect a lot more from basically 6-7 guys playing every game.
I'm sure CRAZYGREG or Rickybaby will find a way to blame DG tonight. It's like clockwork.
The play that made me so mad was when Scotty tried to take the charge and they called and one. That was horrible. Yeah it was a block but that was so obviously continuation. I didn't think this was the NBA. Oh well maybe we will get the next one.
I get that we're depleted and all, but not being able to close out and win the close games is just putting salt in the wound in what kind of season this has turned out to be.
We played hard, it just never seems to be enough though.
I think Brackins would have made the difference tonight! HAHAHAHAHA At this point its just laughable my friends. Just bet on when we blow it every game! I hate to be that guy, but its true! 14 wins will be the max this year.
It really makes me sick to think how good this teams record would be with brackins or even Hamilton on the roster. R. White even might have been enough to get the clones to 10 more wins. Just sad.
Very pleased with Railey, Godfrey and Ejim.
Great effort tonight. It sucks for the team that they aren't getting the wins. But I enjoyed the hell out of the pre-conference season and I told myself before the season that would be enough.
To me this one is a lot easier to swallow than the KSU and Okie St games, etc. I'm proud of the effort. We played well with a bunch of freshmen and a short bench. Also against a #17 team at home where they have won 30 of 33. We just need more depth. Railey, Godfrey, and Ejim are pretty good players.

Oh well, those kids haven't given up yet. That makes me happy.
2:22 to go. ISU trying to close a 6 point gap. DG gets fouled on a 1-1. He's made 16 in a row. He misses the front end. I didn't bring up that he'd made 16 in a row the announcers did. Next possession he comes down and misses a wild shot. He didn't score again until 2 seconds left; when it was already over.Quote:

They are under-manned and under-sized but despite that were in it until the end. I don't mind losing. I don't like people giving up. Or not hustling. Or doing stupid things. Or choking. None of those things happened tonight and mostly none of these happened this entire season; except the last one.
I do want to make one comment. Bubu did not play in the 2nd half and I thought that was a great move by Coach Hoiberg. Jake was playing well and so was Scotty. While they were tired it wasn't to a critical level. Keeping Jake in there kept the chemistry going. It worked and was a good move by Freddy. Jake played great in the second half folks. Railey also played well as did Calvin and Ejim. Really, everyone contributed as this was a good team effort. Lots of things to like about this game even though we lost. And no I'm not gonna dump on DG, sorry to disappoint.
We need bodies period!! I hope that Railey, and Godfrey hit the weights big time in the off season and just become freaking beasts next year very pleased with how we have played!! I think we get one before the year is done.
