Not sure if this has ever been discussed, but we would be a better team with a good point guard and center...

Okay, we need a miracle. We need to dig deep, drive, draw and dish and hit some shots and climb back in this game.

They've doubled us up now... Ugh. Was hoping for a little better game than this.

Just hit 7 3s in a row. It seems to happen to us on occasion, maybe it will happen to PU?

just got no legs. These last couple games actually have me more excited for next year.

Boilers are absolutely playing the games they should have been playing all year. Dictating the pace. Passing into the post and out to the opposite side. Moving the ball around the arc and reversing it then hitting shots both in the middle and on the edge. Anyone who calls this team garbage, heartless or without emotion/pride knows absolutely nothing about the actual game of basketball.

I've seen this game before! This is us against Minnesota from two days ago!

appreciate lewis' hard work, attitude, and heart. That said, I'm glad he wont be running our offense next year.

Looks like the guys are gassed. I'm not even watching but that score differential is getting worse and worse.

I don't like when tirico talks about the players we lost this season and he says we lost black in mid Feb to suspension. That's true, but he was already out with injury way before that and not coming back. He said it the other day in the Minnesota game too. Just bothers me because it makes it seem like we had him for a good chunk of the season, when we obviously did not and missed him heavily

That's all we needed was for Swanigan to get hot. As if we didn't have enough to worry about.

Come on guys, heads up! Keep fightin and make a little run. We're already proud that you got this far. Just keep workin.

Looking at the PU cheer gals I know why the campus mantra on those shirts says "go ugly early"

According to espn, purdue's loss to us earlier this year is not a bad loss on their resume. Thanks, espn!

I think all in all he can go in the positive column for 5th year transfers. We knew what he was, and it wasn't a program changer. Played a lot of hard minutes for us.

I noticed that too. Dakich knows better I'm surprised he didn't correct him.

I think they are ready to go home. It's been a long season.

I know our guys are tired but am really surprised Groce is doing nothing to speed up the game. At this point, run and rotate everyone.

OK, this is all over but the shouting. Hopefully Manual will make it to state so I have a chance to watch our future Illini. I'm also rooting for Althoff making it to state so I can watch Goodwin in action.

I can't remember Dakich saying much positive about Leron Black, and he's said a lot about him...

Agreed. Think where we would be if he hadn't come on board late
