Penn State Game Thread: Alright Lunger, Let's Do It!

[cipsucks]

Our first conference win came on the road.  Who'd have guessed? 

[Silverbacked1]

YES, YES, YES

 

who is going to be the player of the game? hmmmm.

[jayschool]

Back from the cleaners. What'd I miss? I'm guessing we continued to build our lead and then coasted the rest of the second half.

 

Right?

[tcp]

thanks to everyone with a good game thread. sucked that I couldn't see the game. so that means the last win i've been able to actually see is Nicholls St...heh. There'd better be another one this season.

[hskr4life]

YES, YES, YESipes

NOT the boys in stripes

Shields with the Player Of The Game.  Way to go Shavon!

[cozrulz]

When's the next one?  Northwestern?

[Huskerpapa]

I know Shavon is player of the game.  But I am also going to provide a lot of praise for Mr. Ubel.  The dude is playing with a broken elbow for heavens sake!!!

ha!  not surprising, tho. we've been playing better on the road so far in conference.

Yes, that is exactly what happened.  It was great to see our guys coast to an easy win.  Vooch came in and lit it up in garbage time, too!

he may get player of the week in conference. that's a great pickup for a freshman if it happens.

Illinois is next.  Tuesday.

Last year this team tanks it at the end with what happened.

It didn't hurt that PSU went 1-6 from the free throw line down the stretch.  Our free throw defense was amazing the last 32 seconds!!!

Although Shavon is clearly the POTG, I gotta give it to Ray.  The man is a stone cold assassin.  That last three?  Huge...

 

Nice performance from Ray today as well.

[brfrad]

According to live stats, Shields finished with 29 points.  1 off the school record for a freshmen.

Talk about the refs taking the game into their own hands.  That rule needs to be changed.  If it is inadvertant, then it is not a foul.  Great game though.  UBEL!

[Huskerpapa]

I actually thought it was a good team win.  I cannot really tell you that anyone had a bad game.

[tcp]

pretty soon those B1G ads that insist on singling out a player on every team are gonna say, "SHavon Shields and the HUskers...."

 

Young guy's on a helluva roll.

[brfrad]

Benny played better today.  His defense helps a bunch.  If he can get a shot that makes people guard him he still could get some minutes.  Look at Rivers.  He was awful last year shooting, but seems to have some confidence and at least makes people guard him.

I thought that was the rule.  That if it was unintentional it was nothing.  

[runsoastowin]

Big win. That flagrant was rough.  I have two qualms with the rule: A) inadvertent shouldn't be a foul (or at least, they don't get the ball or something) and B ) why allow the continuation?  If the refs had done correctly, they would have called it live and the play would have stopped.  If the video is to correct refs' mistakes, surely it should correct that part, too?

 

Anyway, great grity win!  We have a couple winnable games coming up here, so lets do work!

Nope.  If the elbow makes contact above the shoulders, no matter what, it's a foul.  It's a "point of emphasis" this year.

When you have two guys hanging on you and you are clearing space it shouldn't be a foul.  I think there was a game earlier this or last year (maybe a Texas game) where it actually cost a team a game.  Just a bad rule imo.
