Payton Sandfort crying in the congrats line

[Sec.112]

Anybody hear the story behind this? Not my favorite player, but I hope the kid is alright.

Yikes. I did not see that.

Reality set in?

Not sure, but Collins spoke to him for a long time in the line.

I was at the game and noticed him crying as well. There was no obvious reason why he should be but this was a quote after the game by Fran, ""It changes a lot," McCaffery said about when Sandfort struggles. "We don't have a lot going on in the post... I thought he was forcing it a little bit too much and he can do that and get it going, so I let him go. But he felt really bad because he felt he took some bad shots.""

From my years in a college basketball locker room, I can attest that many players cry after every loss. Guess he just couldn't keep it in until after they had left the court.

he was exhausted...and probably worn out cuz that NU defense was incredible....and I thought played their best defensive game of the year....Iowa spaces and moves the ball and back cuts...actually fun to watch..but I though NU was SUPER prepared and executed at an extremely high level....and credit to Sandfort for the 100% effort but he and his team mates got outplayed tonight by the Cats who win the best way.....hustle, hustle, hustle and darn good basketball....and coaching...If Coach Lowery put together the D plan...good on ya mate.

The game was a delight for Cat fans who love watching us defend. Only a few flubbed switches and tons of hustle.

It’s rough for the teams involved, but the BTT cut line adds a lot of drama to games like last night’s. Iowa is in really big trouble now — hosting Michigan State and then having to go to Nebraska.

I feel for him despite my intense dislike of IA. He knew they had to win this one and they didn’t.

I was impressed by NUs defense last night. The way they collapsed on drives, cut off the backdoor passes (Berry), yet did a decent job at the arc. Suffocating.

I think he also cried last year in the game they lost all hopes of dancing. Granted, yesterday they only lost hopes of BTT.

Which means all chance of dancing
