Fletcher Loyer talks NCAA Title loss and end of season.

Fletcher Loyer had a tough night for Purdue as the Boilers fall to UConn 75-60 in the national title game. Here is what he had to say afterwards in the locker room.

[@EzraDM]

As a Nebraska fan, I, along with a sports bar of 200 people in Lincoln, was cheering for our B1G friends tonight. On behalf of Husker Nation, I congratulate Purdue for an INCREDIBLE season and commend this team for the high bar it set for greatness within our conference and the country at large. This Boilermaker team was so fun to follow and watch, especially this postseason: great personalities, legendary talent (Fletcher’s effortless 3 pointers), and head-spinning plays. I’ve nothing but respect for the Purdue men’s basketball team, coaches, and fanbase. Class acts all around! #BoilerUp #B1G #WayToRep

i was super bummed when you guys didn't win your first tourney game this year. You had something special as well.

[@noah.conley]

Loser mentality nobody in East Lansing was rooting for Purdue!

[@huntstyle]

I feel bad for these kids having to do interviews after a loss. But I hope they all know how proud Boiler Nation is of them! There was no letdown this year. They got to where they were supposed to get, the reality is UCONN just has a better roster. I'm also SO glad our coach is not a.... well, I'll just say I'm glad our coach is such a class act! Can't wait for next year!

[@curtissmith1967]

Even though they lost, these guys are still going to return to campus as heroes. Great job guys!!!!

[@shannonsmith7157]

My heart absolutely breaks for these guys. But what a great season. Fletcher has such class and poise in his interview even though you can hear the disappointment and emotion in his voice. Next year boys! Boiler nation is behind you no matter what ❤❤

"We made a lot of people happy and we were happy." It was a joy to watch you guys play. Boiler up, Fletcher!

[@annehere8604]

We love you, Fletch! You are an amazing player. Thanks for a great great season!

[@jefflorettakanemiller4057]

So absolutely proud of this group of guys and the basketball program Painter maintains. For all those with negative comments and criticism, remember these are young men, really, just kids. They are human beings and not robots. Keep up the good work Boilers!! We will see you and love you all over again next year.

Great season. Im shocked we didn’t drive and dish for more 3s but UCONN’s d is elite.

Very proud of you guys!

[@petertrimboli5320]

Lossing a championship game is tough and i know you guys feel bad about that, but you guys had a great season. You should be proud of what you accomplished. I know we are proud of each and every one of you. It was such a pleasure to watch you guys throughout this whole season. Thanks for everything. You guys are the best! Boiler up!

[@Hal-lj7kp]

Some trolls on this site today for some reason watching Purdue videos to rub it in... let's take an inventory of what the Fletch and all the sophomores have done at Purdue so far ... D-1 for 2 years in the B10, 63 wins, 2 conference titles, 3 tournament wins (b10 and 2 in HI), 1 final 4, 1 national final and, 2 YEARS LEFT, 17 months ago he was still a high school player essentially.... 17 months ago these guys (Fletch, TKR, Smith a few more) had not played a college game yet... They were not highly recruited really--- It's astonishing to see this trajectory for development and success.

[@huntstyle]

Well said. Anyone who uses their personal time to watch & comment on videos of a team they don't even like is an enormous loser.

Supporting cast so was bad. They all can’t handle ball pressure

[@wrenvan4783]

This sucks for this dude but let this be a career changing experience, this Purdue staff needs to get this kids mind and body right, he got pushed around a lot this season against good teams and couldn’t regroup after bad half’s, he could have 3 more years on his career with a grad year, more than enough time to put on 25 more pounds and keep the shot and athleticism. Purdue is going to need him to be better without a dominate big man next year.

[@bitcoinisfreedom5265]

Only 2 more years left there's no more covid after next year

[@darthvegan435]

If I'm not mistaken, he has 2 more years, unless something happens to him and he would have a medical redshirt. The covid year is over for these young'uns...

[@huntstyle]

Beat Marquette, too. 10-1 vs ranked opponents. And let's be honest, UCONN has won every tournament game by double digits the last TWO years. Would've been the same result regardless of the team.

[@socaldrew8]

What happened to the 3s

[@huntstyle]

They didn't double Edey, perimeter defenders stuck to their guys. We get most open 3's when they double Edey. Would have liked to see some screening action on the perimeter to get some guys open for 3. But credit UCONN, they have a great defense, and they had much more size on the perimeter to make it tough on our guys.

[@HK-zt1kc]

😂😂😂

[@blickpantheraj9029]

They let Edey get his and locked everyone else down

@@airplanes42 tough game ... great opponent, so what .. why are you posting here? U conn took the 3 pointer away from 6 shooters, not just Fletch --- it was a great game plan ... that is why Uconn won... but Uconn has 5 guys going to the NBA.. Purdue has 1 (maybe)... the margin of victory should have been bigger... read again what I wrote first.. this kid and his mates are the best 2 guards in 50-100 years at Purdue, with 2 years to go

[@airplanes42]

@@Hal-lj7kp If Painter had gotten another athletic player out of portal, or if Jaden Ivey hadn't gone pro, they might have had a chance. Boilers were over matched last night. Clark K said at half that Uconn backcourt outscored Purdue 29-12 in first half!!

[@poopoomangione]

Dude I’ve been saying this all year! How is this kid even playing D1, let alone starting at Purdue? Makes no sense.

[@poopoomangione]

Fletcher Loyer should be embarrassed. He shouldn’t even be playing D1 basketball, let alone starting at Purdue. It’s truly baffling. Kid barely recorded a single stat with 30 minutes of playing time. Unreal.

[@povertyspec9651]

He's had a lot of great games.

@@povertyspec9651 Because he gets wide open 3s due to his defender sagging off to double Edey. That’s why any of the Purdue guards had even decent games.
