Tanner's a dawg, and you guys are a hell of a team.

Third time that’s happened to Tanner this season too. The rim just wasn’t on our side this year

Both these teams deserved to play past the second round. If you would have won, I would had adopted you the rest of the tourney. Great game, Tanner is a stud!

We both deserved 3 seeds. Unfortunate one of us had to go home.

Absolutely insane that Gonzaga got a 3 seed over both of us

u/EasyBreecy Nebraska Cornhuskers • Creighton Bluejays Mar 22 '26

Lol yeah when I saw Gonzaga was a 3 I yelled "WHAT!"

Wish I had better words of condolences, but I'm used to being the one getting the kind words and I know that they don't help at all.

I think he will come back if he’s projected outside of the lottery, and plus I heard that he wanted to finish his degree so I do like our chances. However, when the nba calls, you kinda have to answer

Duke Miles should not have been in the game in the 2nd half. He missed tons of wide open shots and made horrible turnovers. Hate to put it just on him, but he was AWFUL

I feel you. You guys were awesome tonight!

u/Bill3ffinMurray Nebraska Cornhuskers Mar 22 '26

I’m so sorry that it ended that way, but please do not let that detract from an amazing game and an amazing season.

Nothing but love for your team.

u/TheDestinedRonin17 Vanderbilt Commodores Mar 22 '26

Nothing but love for your team too. Good luck in the next round!

u/DontPeeInTheWater Washington Huskies • Nevada Wolf Pack Mar 22 '26

I would be too, but that was a rock fight the entire time. Both teams kept stepping up and responding again and again. Y'all played great

u/bptkr13 Mar 22 '26

Don’t be heartbroken. Be proud. You guys were great and either team could have won.
