Penn St (9-5) VS. Nebraska (10-4) Game Thread

[Cazzie22]

30-25 at half.  This is disheartening to watch such silly, incompetent play.  Petrie did make a nice post move against their big and Britt has hit a couple of shots but the number of missed layups is amazing.

[All About the Corn]

We have not made good choices today. We are playing like a bottom 3rd of the B1G right now.

Radio guys are saying that the Huskers are trying to play 5-4 when Merkle is in the game. Thus the running.

Put 44 in the pick and roll every time down the floor. Our Coaching is mind boggling that we aren’t doing that. 

[All About the Corn]

Better start to the second half. Now we need to keep it going.

[redsteve]

Just need to calm down a bit and be more precise offensively. Playing too fast for our capabilities.

 

Improve passing and cut down turnovers.... and still play hard on defense

[Bugeaters1]

A week layoff didn't help in the 1st half either.

 

[longtimefan]

I can't believe how many easy easy layups are guards miss every game. 

[B-town hoopsfan]

Pitre and bozan gonna be enough for us to hang onto this thing? 

[Cazzie22]

Came alive a little bit and lead by 13.  Trying for a last shot Britt passes to Penn St and gives up a layup.  Petrie had played a nice first part of the quarter and, of course, is subbed out.

[Cazzie22]

Just gave up a 9-0 run. We can’t make a bucket around the rim.  Penn St and their pressure is bothering us. I shudder to think what Ohio St’s press will do to us.  Glad Amy finally took a timeout.

[longtimefan]

Prince passes off way too much.she needs to  take the  shot instead of going for an assist.

[Bugeaters1]

Jesus fuck, you don't need to shoot a 3 there.

 

[Bugeaters1]

WOW

[Bugeaters1]

BALL DON'T LIE!!!

[Bugeaters1]

Thank you Weidner.

[Cazzie22]

Weidner, Hake and Prince picked up the defensive pressure which led to a hard earned victory.  

[longtimefan]

We won the game but I'm not sure we deserved it after blowing a 17 point lead.

PSU is not a good team.

What does that say about us?

[Cazzie22]

Michigan State might determine where our season goes.  We are going to need to be much better.

MSU is always a bit over rated though. I like our chances playing them at home.

 

[All About the Corn]

Wednesday's game will be tough. We need a start like we had against MN. If we come out and play up and down then it could be a bad loss at home. 

[Bugeaters1]

I dont believe this number.
