Clemson gave up an 8-0 run to NC State and lost at the buzzer.

 

 

One silver lining to our own collapse is that this thread is become increasingly superfluous. I'm going to miss checking Seton Hall scores. 

 

You say that, but now we're in that territory that @royalfan and I are about to dread. The "so let's spend the next few weeks watching Mississippi Valley State continue to lose...but maaaaaybe win a game?" territory.

It's dark times. Better hope Badger hunting goes better than Buckeye roasting. Sigh.

How did MSU get behind so badly at the half?! Shot terribly, or what???

3 games in 6 days with the first 2 against ranked teams. No gas left in the tank. In the last couple minutes, Sparty got within 4 or 5 and went with hack-a-Nojel strategy. Career 43% free throw shooter who went 6-6 to ice the game.

They didn’t shoot the ball well and Purdue was doing everything right. Then the script flipped at the beginning of the second half. Purdue pulled out of their funk right when the lead got razor thin.

Michigan's Zavier Simpson got a triple double against Ohio State last night.

That seems to be... (let me check) a very compelling statistic in modern basketball. Methinks NU at Mich. will not go very well. Yikes.

Replace "Penn State" with "Nebraska" and "football program" with "football program." So many parallels beyond our basketball coaches having the same amount of tenure.

Our matchup in Penn State is shaping up to be like when Illinois came here the year both Bruce Weber and Doc were fired so maybe those guys will get a Josh Reeves dunk video out of the deal.

SOBERING.

 

VERY SOBERING.

Indiana is about to lose their 8th straight game. Losing 54-47 with 5 min left to Rutgers at the RAC

 

At least we don't look THAT bad.

Yeah, and that was Nebraska's biggest B1G win. Still sobering.

Rutgers has had a 22-zip run on the Hoosiers, which makes NU's giving up a 15-0 run to Rutgers seem like child's play. Man, IU is *baaaaddddd*

[hskr4life]

Mother of God.  We propelled Rutgers to a 3 game winning streak and broke Indiana in about a weeks time.

It's brutal, man. Just plain brutal.

 

If your team is off in any way, shape, or form, then your team is likely hosed (for the time being!).

Rutgers is about to shatter their Big Ten record in a season with 4 wins.

The Scarlet Knights will have moved from 9 all-time B1G wins (before this year) to a smashing total of 13 dubs, within a month's time. Bear in mind that Rutgers has been an aspiring Big Ten institution for around 90 games, give or take. [Oh, and they have several Big Ten tourney wins, which is better than Nebraska FWIW]

St. Johns hitting shots all over the place and wins at Creighton. Seton Hall pulls out a 2 point home win over Providence.

I guess the guys that read our loss threads can come back over again if they need a pick-me-up

I think the last two paragraphs are where the programs differ. If this had been written before PBA, it'd have been eerily similar...

Purdue and Penn State are a combined 18 of 30 from deep in the first half. Purdue up 50-44 at half in State College.

Purdue and the officiating crew take Penn State to overtime.  All 736 Penn State fans in attendance are going crazy.  29 of those fans are even standing up.
