Just dug too much of a hole and ran out of rope. I love the kid but we were using ty Rodgers too much when it was evident this wasn't a match up for him. Dain has got to figure out other aspects of the game such as rebounding and iq. He's good at the flash but not the things that make cash.

That start was ROUGH, but it was their first road game after the adversity struck, in the absolute toughest road venue in CBB this year. Hard to blame them for getting shell-shocked. And really impressed by the 35 or so minutes that followed.

Good fight after the right lineups got put in.
From a metrics perspective, that's about as good of a loss as you can have.

Good fight. Needed a career night from TKR. Need to be tougher on the glass. Would help if refs called over the back a bit more often. But I think they’re gettable.
Proud of the team, proud of the effort. Proud of the program.
I love Ty Rodgers as much as anyone can love Ty Rodgers.
You can't win if he doesn't even fake like he is going to look to take a jumper. You can't.

Would put money on BU going with the same lineup though
I like our chances (gulp) without him.
Earned respect by anyone watching. A yo-yo game with grit and toughness to fight back when didn't have to. Could've just rolled over and said, "we live to play another day."

We definitely had opportunities that we’d normally take advantage of, but this team is really good. We put ourselves in a hole to start.
Purdue/NCAA may have underestimated this team without TJ before this game (even with the last two games being good results). This game just let everyone know that we are real.
Great fight! We can continue with optimist thoughts for this season. Enjoy the ride!
