They didn't show up in the first half (minus Matt). That's a fact lol.

Right, but to say the seniors didn't play well, when they were the reason ISU came out and did what they did the 2nd half, is stupid.

Matt Thomas would disagree with you whole heartedly.

They didn't play well for 25 minutes of the game(that's a majority).

I said Matt was the exception in another post.

Well, I think they only hit 40% on 3s in the first half, so that isn't EVERY shot they threw up. There were some contested 3s that went in, but we didn't guard the 3 line so well. they kind of 2 years ago ISU'd us for most of the first half. That's all.

Agree. We really struggled getting off screens in the first half and played passively on defense for the most part. Gave them a lot of open 3's and they hit a decent number, but certainly not every shot. We just weren't disruptive enough on defense and only Matt had anything resembling a rhythm offensively that first half and it's what doomed us.

great game by Purdue. Very proud of ISU. The only thing that bugs me is we ran up-tempo, made a huge comeback, finally took the lead, and then did the infamous stand and dribble routine the next possession for zero points. ????

Now a half serious, half joking question:

What would we have looked like with Emmanuel Malou? :eek:

Better at the very least. Even if he wasn't that great and was our 6th man it would have helped. BUT, Solo got a lot of experience this year without Malou here that is going to pay off huge in the next 3 years.

And then Swanigan rolled over with the ball while laying on the floor, which is supposed to be a travel but they get a TO instead.

Yes...either should have been a travel or a tie-up, as even in slow motion he didn't get the timeout before either of the other two happened.

Great effort by this group! The R32 is quite the feat.

Thought we had it when we took the lead. If you're going to play small ball you're a bad shooting night away from getting bounced.

Oh well, on to next year. Let's go all out this spring recruiting period and set ourselves up for trip #7!

Burton totally outplaying the B1G POY. Wish we would have kept getting him the ball isolated at the top of the key.

Good Luck to all of you Seniors. You provided a ton of great memories.
