Why are we the only home team that never gets home cooking?  Sorry that we have an upstanding coach that doesn't bitch at every call against him like all the other whiny coaches in the BIG.

its better financially for the big 10 to have Purdue win so we get more teams into the dance.  The officials have been notified and are calling the game accordingly.

Ugh. You have to win in spite of officiating against teams like Purdue. I won't flat out blame refs for this loss. But I genuinely believe a fair game would have us up 4-5 right now.

It's not surprising. Their tournament hopes are on the line, and this is their chance to get a marquee win. Purdue's leaving everything on the court.

Still, its frustrating to beat teams like MSU and Ohio, hang with Duke, and then get made an example of by teams we should beat pretty handily. This team is so bipolar.

Ace's protip of "keep shooting the three" could be the worst protip in the history of all protips.  I think most people knew it was a terrible idea at the time, but wow.   Godawful.

eh, it happens.  Not happy about it, but sometime you  just have to tip your hat to the team that played better than you.  Hopefully this will give us motivation to play better for our next games and more importantly the tournament.

Jordan Morgan passes on an easy 2, this game is over. The inability to cover Tyrone Johnson from driving the lane killed us. Looks like we came out with no energy on freaking senior night. Bad loss.

We absolutely got outcoached. We couldn't figure out that we can't swtich Morgan on the picks. Their guards absolutely tore apart our 4 and 5 when we switched on picks. Easy dribble drive with a lay up or assist. Frustrating as hell to watch. Smots and Morgan are not nearly quick enough to be guarding Purdue's guards.
