I picked Tech to win that one. Oh well, I have Mich beating Tech Bama anyway.

A buddy of mine is a Boilermaker. I foresee some beers being bet on this game.

What? No shots of whiskey with the beers?

Good ideal, thanks!

Just find a way to stop Braden Smith and we have a shot. Just don't see any way to stop him. lol

I consider this a successful first season for Miller. They've gone farther in the tournament than I thought they would.

They made the tournament. That was further than I thought at points this season

Purdue PG is a drama queen.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Matas in foul trouble. Things are normal. lol

Swain with three TOs in consecutive possessions. Yet, we're still in this.

I hate the way Purdue plays basketball. It border on dirty, but they are sly in the way they do it, and the refs catch the other team on the reaction

It is dirty. And it won them a game.

Wow... the Horns played awesome... Purdue got away with some ridiculous stuff, and we almost pulled it out. Really happy to have Miller as our HC. I think he can get some great things done here.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

For the first time this season, I am not mad at the end of a loss. We played extremely well in an environment that seemed to favor the opposition. Even the announcers got excited when Purdue first took the lead. They couldn't contain themselves.

But there we were, taking #2 seed Purdue to the wire and should have beat them, honestly. Never expected us to get this far, but am now convinced we should be advancing.

Game ball to the whole team and staff. Bravo!

Kaufman-Renn and entire Purdue team but especially Renn are amazing at getting fouls called. I hate it but it’s a necessary art.

Team busted their ass this tournament and we all have to be happy. We probably have 3 players that are realistically playing on any of the remaining teams. People stepped up. Coaches got them motivated.

I know he was out muscled but why didn’t Swain at least try to jump there for the ball? Why not have Matas in?

 

[Kmed]

Proud of how this team finished the season, and there were plenty of times I was down on them this season. This bodes well for the future though.

Speaking of the future, what’s this team going to look like next year. Lots of departures, and some really good players coming in. I think we’d need a starting point guard out of the portal, and probably a starting PF (there’s a Lithuanian from St Mary who entered, just saying)

 

[General Hooker]

I wasn't sure if Purdue's flopping was bad, or I was just biased. Looks like you all saw the same crap I did.

Well, good tourney Horns! I'm really glad we have Miller for coach. Let's get back to the Sweet 16 next year and win.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Why not have Matas in?

That's my question, too

 

[tejasrulz]

Good run by the Horns, proud of the Horns!

We lose Mark, Pope and Weaver as they're seniors. Hopefully we can get similar players to replace them.

Watch the replay and you will see Swain was pushed in the back on that tip in by #4. They let him get away with a lot last night.
