Another frustrating loss, in the Fresno State / Syracuse style this season, as Iowa's defense bullied the Boilermakers and found just enough space in Ryan Walters' defense to eek out 20 points. Coverage sacks baited Hudson Card into taking a ton of pressure, a lack of offensive playmaking creativity , and a few devastating injuries to an already-thin Purdue roster are not making things easy for this young coaching staff.

Coach Walters' Secret

A sour ending doesn't make the season any less sweet.

The NCAA National Title game saw our Boilermakers handled on the perimeter by UConn's wings, as the Huskies limited Purdue to only 7 three pointers attempted, all while Zach Edey got whatever he wanted inside on Donovan Clingan (by Dan Hurley's design). But Purdue won the most games in its basketball history, Edey swept every National Player of the Year award for the second straight year (the first time in over 50 years, since Bill Walton at UCLA), Matt Painter and a roster that almost entirely returned completed a redemptive season a year after the FDU loss (arguably the worst loss in March Madness history).

And, oh yeah, our Purdue Boilermakers made the Final Four for the first time since 1980, and won a National Semifinal game for the first time since 1969.

By all measures, this could have been the greatest season in Purdue basketball's history, led by possibly Purdue's greatest player in its history, led by possibly Purdue's greatest coach in its history. Let's enjoy it all, without worrying about what anyone else says.
