ISU got great performances from Thomas and Burton with Morris getting hot in the second half. Purdue went cold in the second half. Painter and the team deserve credit for finding a way to pull this one out.
We fought for our lives out there and wanted it more. If you think we were outplayed, or out-coached, you can go to hell and take all the other haters with you.
Biggie and Vince are great! Can carry Painter if he doesn't bench them for idiotic reasons. Can't wait for the hate I'm about to receive for this. I'm just going to assume that those people who disagree are blind
ISU came back from similar deficits through out the year. We weathered the push and won. Painter out coached the ISU guy big time. Nicely done. ISU had lots of talent and almost won on shear 1-on-1 plays. We out played them as a team. Nicely done.
We just beat a tem that was the BIG 12 tournament champ and just beat Kansas. it's not like this was a pushover team. And we made a Ft when it counted. the score and coaching doesn't matter. We found a way to WIN !
We lead most of the game, weathered a furious come back by one of the best teams in the country. Nicely done. Leave no doubt, this was a win created by team play. Just look at the huge number of assists we totaled. Assists come from great coaching and good players. Nicely done Matt!
