Up by two at the break with Darius 0-for-7 from three? We'll take it. Kyle & Zach workin'.

[stokesjokes]

You have to think we’re in a good spot leading at the half with Darius shooting poorly and Porter out for a long stretch with fouls.

I’m frustrated that apparently since they’re bigger, they’re allowed to be more physical than we are, but somehow we’re out-rebounding them and have more points in the paint.

[Sly Fox]

The refs are letting defenders do as they please against Darius. But our issue right now is we can't hit open shots. Thankfully the pack line is doing its part.

[TH Spangler]

KSU knows how to take McGhee out the equation.

[stokesjokes]

Burden is back to getting rewarded for playing out of control

[Sly Fox]

Shiloh has joined the fun.

[Sly Fox]

Kyle again!

[TH Spangler]

I'm counting on McGhee to explode any minute. Due.

[JK37]

Kyle Rode showing a lot of maturity.

Rebounding a huge story. (Obviously not he BIGGEST story.)

Did KSU milk it too soon? Time will tell…..

[TH Spangler]

KSU hits their FTs and plays a little bit better defense.

[soccer7]

Why does it feels so good but at the end it always hurts so bad being a flames fan!?!

[stokesjokes]

Imagine if Darius had hit one

[Sly Fox]

Ugh. Clearly no foul but it was that kind of day. You can mug players all day and then with the scored tied the whistle decides the game.

Of course we could have hit a three or FT every now and then and it wouldn't have been an issue.

[TH Spangler]

I don't like seeing refs involved at that point in a game. Unless it's flagrant let it go to OT.

[stokesjokes]

Seemed like Warfield pretty clearly reached in before the shot. Can’t be doing that on that kind of play. At least make him hit the shot.

[Veritas]

Extremely disappointing but not entirely surprising result. Feast or famine from long distance, particularly in recent games.

I think this result puts to bed the "best team ever" conversation. Let's not bring that up again until ... well, it may be a few years before we're remotely close to an NCAA bid.

[Ill flame]

I just don't see a scenario where we get an at large bid which is unfortunate because I think we could've won a game or two if McGhee got hot again. The endings to basketball games are the worst in sports. Combine that with inconsistent officiating every game and there's a reason why I watch football, baseball and hockey more. There's no other sport where officiating has such a massive affect on the outcome of games.

Hand in the cookie jar.

Best team? Go watch the highlights from the team that beat Mississippi State in the tourney. It’s jarring how much better that team was at finishing strong at the rim. Nobody like Scottie and Myo on this team. (I didn’t even realize people were asking if this was best team ever. No way!)

[lueer]

This team is good and it is usually fun watching them, but in NO WAY are they close to being the best ever. The team that won in the NCAA would drill this bunch.

[Tnobes]

Failed season. Now I know how Ohio State football fans feel, my college roommate from Ohio said if the Buckeyes lost 1 football game during the season the whole season was a total waste, now I believe him, no Conference championship and probably no NCAA tournament invitation. Sad to see Darius go out on a game like that and a loss after a stellar career as well as Rode and other seniors, although Rode did fantastic today. I hope Brody can step up as a scorer next year to ease the loss of Darius

[ATrain]

So do we accept an NIT bid or call it a season like last year???

[jmclaughlin]

This one stings
NIT is like dancing with your cousin

[ballah09]

Season is probably done but that was a foul and dumb on Warfield to reach on that. I do feel for Darius to end his career on probably his worst game of his career.

[AATL]

If by some series of unfortunate events I became commissioner for a day, I'd up the threshold for what is considered a hand foul by about 50%. It drives me nuts, but it was called consistently today every time Burden flew down the lane and generally is across college basketball.

Props to KSU on the game and their year. Rode was a monster amidst an abysmal day beyond the arc and Porter made some great passes in transition to punish turnovers. If you told me McGhee went 0-fer prior to tip, I'd have assumed a 15 point blowout. With some vets returning and continued growth for younguns like Porter and Cleveland, there's still a bright future ahead next year.
