It is hard to see a tough loss in a game like this, but from what I have heard PSU has some good kids waiting in the wings to step up and fill the shoes JD and Murray leave when they graduate. This years freshmen, sophomores and juniors have tasted the success of this season and need to work to harder next year. PSU has moved from a 16 seed last year to 13 this years, they can only go higher. They need to continue their winning ways and Bone needs to stay and continue the philosophy that turned the team around. This is not the end...Once upon a time there was a bunch of snot nosed from a school named Gonzaga who burst upon the basketball world and soon became respected perrinial members of the NCAA tourney.... Now it's PSU's turn.

You make great points. I would add that PSU has accomplished this in only about a dozen years since it moved up to Division I and brought back basketball. This is impressive and we should all be proud of how quickly we've risen up the ranks.

Just got back from Boise. This was a phenomenal trip and a great time was had by all. Kudos to the athletics staff and alumns who organized the pre-game event at the Ram, the afterparty at the hotel, and everything else. With the possible exception of Wisconsin, PSU had the loudest and most fans at the arena.
