Harmon hitting two jumpers over our last TEN games is just not going to get it done.

They seemed to shy away from the moment. Can't do that with tourney season coming up
Everyone wanted to look around and make sure the goon wasnt nearby
Foul Edey when he had the ball in the backcourt before that last 3.
Some of these close losses can be attributed to questionable roster management and defensive adjustments (or no adjustments). This staff is not putting the team in the best position to win.

The day I never have to see that dead-eyed blank stare ever again will be a great one

OK, after some time and reflection
1) We did play defense tonight, so it is still possible
2) They are a #1 seed and played like it
3) They have Edey, and no one else does
4) We played a real game and did not get home calls, but we didn't get screwed either
5) We are ok and I see us playing in the sweet 16, hard to guard Domask, Shannon, and Hawkins

They hit shots. We didn’t.

He’s quickly become the next Jordan Bohannon for me…I hate that guy.
I thought they tried to. The refs just didn't call it.
Nah ... That was a big shot ...
He didn't say anything to our guys ... Didn't say anything to our bench ... Turned away from everyone and did it ...
I am good with it ... You hit a shot like that ... You get to do that ...
I have known Braden and family a LONG time ... He's a good kid ... Tough as they come ... And a young man with great character ...
Kids played their hearts out. We just didn't make enough shots down the stretch. Credit to Purdue for coming up with the timely loose balls and for knocking down threes in the 2nd half.
On to Iowa.
On to Iowa.
I've seen Hawkins get T'd for a LOT less...

Fletcher Loyer 16 points… 12 in the second half… puke
What are you talking about? They did cool off. There was a stretch in the second half before the 4 minute mark that we went on a 8-0 run to go up by 2. We didn’t double Edey during or after that stretch.
Us not getting luck bounces and them hitting clutch 3 one after another really were the difference. And the fact that Shannon wasn’t himself tonight also didn’t help
Really is this simple sometimes.
Edey should have been teed up multiple times tonight
Remember when Coleman got teed up for just looking in the crowd?
