GDAMN PROUD OF THIS GROUP!

[jbindm]

Love you guys; you're all heart. Thanks for another great season. Be proud of all you've done. It's so much bigger than one game.

 

[brycy]

Great end to the season. Team was frustrating to watch early in the year and great to watch at the end. Seniors will be missed.

 

[mctallerton]

That was a hell of a comeback.

 

[CycloneErik]

Absolutely love these kids. One hell of a comeback. Too bad Purdue was so hot as that was a huge hole to dig out of. Ball just didn't bounce our way in the last two minutes, but that is the tournament for you.

Thank you seniors!

That end part is so true. This thing is set up to rip the hearts out of 63 teams and their fans.

 

[CyBobby]

Thanks Seniors for the great comeback that just barely missed...Thanks for four great years and thanks for all the hardware/ trophies you guys brought home from Kansas City...Gonna really miss you guys...U R all great Cyclones

 

[FinalFourCy]

Such a fine line between winning and losing, and tonight we're on the wrong side.I still think this game is a toss up. If we hit shots like we normally do and Purdue is off, we win going away. Oh well.

Thank you to all the seniors for all they have done for the program.

Size win over small ball tonight, but next year we'll have both!

LOVE these seniors and everything they did for ISU basketball. Fought like crazy tonight. Very proud of this team and everything they accomplished together as a TEAM, as one unit. Awesome!!

I'm dealing with my 9 year old son's emotions. This group of seniors are basically all he knows when it comes to Cyclone basketball. He went on a roller coaster ride tonight, just like the rest of us. It's hard to preach the whole "don't be sad it's over..." thing when you're having a hard time with it yourself.

Thanks to this group for so many great memories, and for being guys that I never had to be embarrassed when watching with my family. Great ballers, better men. You will NEVER be forgotten.

 

[kingcy]

Yes it was a fun 4 years. Hopefully the next group can do the same maybe a little better.

Just tell him to be happy he got to witness these guys, and that more great times are ahead. ISU basketball doesn't rebuild, they reload.

Feel awful for being upset about the loss when just qualifying was good enough 4 weeks ago.

What a group...to me the most memorable since the Tinsley/Fizer season. Plenty of fun seasons in between but none of them featured teams that made this kind of a run and seemed to genuinely care for each other to this extent and/or have this kind of pride for ISU.

Going to be just strange next season with completely different faces.

 

[jdoggivjc]

That's the way to do it. No lead is ever safe against ISU. great game,another conference tourney ship, shut up a TON of haters throughout the year. No regerts.

REGERTS?!?

 

[scyclonekid]

Good season fellas thank you

 

[LincolnWay187]

I'm not really that disappointed, they played okay but just didn't have a few shots go down. Thanks for all the memories fellas!

 

[digZ]

Damn, losing Georges and Abdel at the end of last tourney, and now these guys this time around? Easily the worst part of the tournament every year is knowing key guys aren't coming back. Through all the ups and downs, gonna miss this group, they did a heck of a job pulling into 2nd in the Big 12, and winning the conference tourney.

 

[SaraV]

Thanks Monte.
Thanks Matt.
Thanks Naz.
Thanks Deonte.
Thanks Darrell.
Thanks Merrill.

STTTTUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

Sorry, had to.

 

[bozclone]

[Cynonymous]

Love this group of seniors. They are Iowa State.

What Clonedude said but also (half kidding) be thankful he wasn't on national television being emotional because the tourney cameras love to kick people while they're down.

I'm not ashamed to write that I have tears rolling down my cheeks as I type this, and am probably only a few minutes away, once the finality of it all sets in, from sobbing like a baby.
