The take from the PSU Collegian student newspaper: "Penn State played its best basketball in over a month, but it still didn’t translate to the team’s first conference win of the season. "Playing on the road against a talented Nebraska team, the Nittany Lions played a solid game from start to finish, something they haven’t been able to do this season. But winning on the road in Pinnacle Bank Arena is difficult no matter how good the Cornhuskers are, but Tim Miles has arguably the most talented team of his tenure and Nebraska was able to come away with an 70-64 win on Thursday night. "But despite the loss, there were plenty of positives to take away from Penn State’s performance." SNIP "This was easily Reaves’ best performance in over a month, and probably his most complete performance of the season and is a positive sign as the Nittany Lions look to turn around their season."

Friday's games: Indiana at Maryland, 6 p.m., FS1 Purdue at Wisconsin, 8 p.m., FS1

Can I watch Colorado lose? That's always intriguing for me.

Bohannon 0-fer from deep for Iowa tonight. Figures.

Tyler Cook not playing for Iowa at Northwestern. 'Eyes up 7 early, 9-2.

Indeed. My takeaway: The Big Ten is Michigan, Michigan State and 12 teams that can't take any game for granted.

Something about eggs, chickens, hatching ...

Don't you just love timeouts?

Rutgers up by 8 midway through the second half, 53-45.

Accepted.

Thank dog I'm vacationing in California this week.

GOOOOOOOOOO!! BIIIIIIIIGG!!! REEEEE-EDDDDDD!!!

Hack-a-Happ going well for Richie Rich in Madison. Gophers about to go 2-1, 12-2 with the big win against the Badgers. Up 8 with 37 seconds left.

2. They just sucked. Nothing he could bitch about other than they suck.

BTN crew really bashed Iowa's experienced roster, saying someone needs to step up and lead. They do look rudderless.

Interesting first halves tonight: Iowa without Garza is playing defense like it's 2018 again; Purdue up by 17 at half in WL. Michigan dicking around at home with the Gritty Nits, up only 25-20 at half. Illinois has led almost the entire first half at Indiana, and is up 32-30 with 47 seconds left.
