This a whole body loss.  I will point to every coach and every player.  All played and coached below expectations.   Hell, I didn't hear his call; but i am guessing Kent was below average as well.

Haha, I think KP is catching a stray here but the frustration is understandable.  He's always prepared

I was really hoping we could get the margin down at least. This one might hurt.

 

Giving the committee some easy outs to exclude us from any serious conversation.

 

Just when you think they can get back on track with limited time remaining in the season.

I think the number of nights this team has spent in a hotel this month has caught up with them. If I’m counting correctly, they’ve spent 9 out of 18 nights in a hotel. In the next 18 days, 1 night in a hotel. Need to get home and get rested and get Berke back, most importantly.

Uhlis cannot play anymore.  He can't defend, he can't handle the ball, makes terrible decisions.

Griffiths dribbling up and throwing the ball off of Morgan's feet level game

5 - 15 from the free throw line for a guard.  Another reason to hate Iowa.  For giving us him.

[GhostOfJoeMcCray]

We only lost by 17. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’ll take it

Gavin's basketball IQ so low he didn't even launch that last shot

He is Thomas Allen-ing through his last season

[brfrad]

At least the 2nd half, I was able to stop yelling at the refs.

Wish we could have seen Nick Janowski this year. If for no other reason than his name isn’t Ahron Ulis.

I take back that comment I made earlier in a different thread about ESPN and Jay Bilas . Performances like this are exactly why they get no respect from the national media.

The refs will have fouls even by end of game.

After starting game with 8 fouls to psu's 2 each team finishes with 13?

I just saw it as Gavin not wanting to tank his stats so that he could improve his draft stock

Is he good enough? Considering the Griffiths benching, Ulis futility, Worster limitations and Essegian streakiness, wasn't it worth giving him a shot?

[AuroranHusker]

That's garbage. Only the offense of Morgan, Essegian, and Williams kept this from being a 50-point loss. Sheesh, that was really bad in not-so-Happy Valley for the Big Red.

Don’t think he was ready in November but sounds like he’s been doing well lately, but too late to burn a redshirt.

See, stop blaming the refs, obviously a balanced call

I would LOVE to stop blaming the refs. Give me one game where we get a fair call and still play like crap and I Will agree that it's all us.

Agreed, the road-warrior mentality just wasn't there & PSU was clicking on all cylinders with the king-pin Ace Baldwin at the helm. Man, I wish Ulis had a 1/10th of that dude's talent.

I knew early on when Ace Baldwin mugged Brice so badly, that not only was no call made, the succeeding call against Brice on a phantom foul call, that it was lights out tonight. They may as well just fuel up the jet & leave that sh!thole of a town.

If Juwan isn’t playing well, we aren’t very good. Today was one of his worst games of the year.

I would too. But what amazes me is every game is on tv and replay is all over and they don't care. And then the announcers can't call them out because they are on conference network payroll.

If we play defense like this on Monday Michigan will set a PBA record 

 

I think that it will likely be a loss, but NU has to figure out a way to make it competitive. That's doable, I think. Having Berke on the boards is a great way to make it at least somewhat of a chance at that competitiveness. We shall see...

Agree now, but in the midst of the 6-game slide? If he's a baller, it would have helped, if he wasn't cracking the rotation this year then I'm worried because we have 2 and a half B1G guards most nights
