Yep - well and Purdue won the Big 10 this year and has 27 wins. Almost beat Nova and Louisville earlier this year too. They're a great team so there' no reason for anyone to be so pissed. Yeah we had plenty of opportunities to win at the end - shoulda woulda coulda. It's life - life goes on. It's not like ISU lost to UAB. It's Purdue - they're good. The team should be proud of the season and also very proud of coming back from 19 down.
Whatever it is, I wouldn't exactly call it "basketball".
No idea why we waited till middle of the second half to isolate Burton on Swanigan, really poor game plan out of the gate and waited way way way too long to adjust. So that is disappointing. Should have ran circles around Purdue, just sad to lose to a team we match up with so well.
Hell of an effort, and some really bad breaks, proud of our guys though. Great guys and great players. Fun year.

Yeah we blew that game in the first half. There was point where they played haas and swan together and I don't think isolated them once. I had a bad feeling about this game from the start when long came out settling for NBA threes. We needed to establish dribble penetration from the get go. Also how did we not have Solomon in on those late free throws?
Maybe because the line up that made that happen hasn't been used much if at all this year.
Purdue was under-seeded by the committee, which sucks because if they would have gotten a better seed we wouldn't have had to play them in the second round. Not as bad as Villanova getting Wisconsin though. Combine that with the fact that they lost in the first round last two years and they were hungry to prove themselves. Not a fan of the Big Ten at all, but the regular season champ should probably be better than a 4 seed.
Anyone surprised we didn't have any bigs in when Purdue was shooting free throws at the end of the game? I know we need shooters out there for a potential game winning shot, but we needed someone at least capable of getting the rebound if they missed, which they did. Our guards didn't have much of a chance going up against Purdue's size for that rebound.
Yeah not sure the thought here. I get wanting shooters, but Solo should of been in.
Yeah, not a secret we lost the game in the 1st half when Purdue had their way with us all around. We couldn't make a three, and they couldn't miss. 2nd half was the direct opposite. Pretty sure the only three Purdue made in the secund half was after we took the 2 point lead with 3 mins left.
You guys have ton of basketball knowledge and credibility, especially after Michigan just took down Louisville this afternoon. Look forward to that "beatdown" we're re going to take from Kansas.
Yeah, Monte Morris will probably be sitting at the end of a bench in the NBA. Classy guy...
Purdue fans have an interesting way of celebrating a big win
And Cyclone fans and players have a funny way of trash talking prior to a game and not backing it up. I came on here last night to sincerely congratulate your Cyclones for a great season and was promptly treated like sh@t. So I'm not real interested in how you feel I'm celebrating right now. Then to see this Morris trash talking like an @sshole makes me dislike your team even more.
Basketball players talking trash?
It's pretty sad your media thought to report on that rather than focus on a good win.
Congrats on the win, Purdue is a good team. Not sure what else you're looking for?
Love guys who say "I am done here and going away" and then drift back in with another half dozen prissy posts looking to stir the pot. Coming here after a tough loss looking to get stroked off. Totes tool.
