PSU (7-12)(4-11) vs. Nebraska (5-15)(1-12) Game Thread

Since returning from his one game  suspension, Teddy has been a completely different and vastly improved player.  Kudos to the coaching staff for sending the message and bigger props to Teddy for constructively receiving that message.  We have seen other players take their imaginary bag of arrows and go home.

Allen keeps up this pace and he's a shoe-in to finish 2nd to Hunter Dickinson for B1G player of the week

Why do all of our inbounce plays look like middle school ones? 

[brfrad]

Banton needs some quality time with the coaches on the bench. 

[roscoe]

I'll cut Banton some slack. His left arm got hit on that dunk. But then ft's?

[B-town hoopsfan]

Seeing shades of ball movement and offensive plays all of a sudden. Is it real or is it my eyes? 

[jayschool]

I hoped Banton would get drafted at halftime. Dang.

[brfrad]

Our defense has been terrible tonight.  Always be between the offensive player and the basket.  I learned that my 1st year playing basketball.

I think the whole team is fronting their guys.

How is Lat so bad at dribbling? Like isn’t that a basic part of basketball that most division I high major players should be able to do?

I have a 40-year-old suitcase with better handles.

So Jones is guarding Thor? Need Thor to just keep moving and make him run and maybe wear him out a little.

sigh

[roscoe]

Holy Sh**!!!! The stupid lackadaisical turnovers are killing me!!!!

[Cazzie22]

Gee, we give up plenty of open threes!

[tcp]

they just check out for long stretches of time. 

 

it's like a team of kittens. 

[demone]

Why do teams no longer run inbounds plays? I hardly ever see them anymore.

[hskr4life]

Well... it was fun while it lasted.  Let's see if we can come from behind by 10+.... again.

[brfrad]

I'm scared facing Northwestern.   Heck, I'm scared of us facing Millard North.

[B-town hoopsfan]

Someday it’s gotta get better right?

[jayschool]

Go up one, then give up an easy two to PSU, turn the ball over, give up an offensive board and a 3, then another TO and another 3, then a missed shot and another 3 by PSU, and the game is over. 

 

Again, we're close for 25 minutes or so (I won't say we competed, because we didn't), and then the other team realizes we don't really know how to fight or win, and they put us away.

 

It's tiresome.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

I’m beginning to think some guys value the ball about the same as some on the football team do good special teams play...

[hskr4life]

Teddy got us to within 7 and we have the ball.  Important possession for us here.  Need to get a solid look and preferably a score.

I fear though... that Teddy could go cold at any time.  If he does... who steps up?
