You know, with JL, Sam H, and Keisei now getting a large portion of the Bandoumel/Gary minutes, it stands to reason our three point percentage could/should improve. And gosh if CJ gets it figured out, we might have something here.

PSU 69 Neb 65 Just in time.

Missing those seniors. No excuse though, we had a real chance.

Holy shit

Budda-tssshh!

Good defense, shite offense.

We’re getting killed on the defensive boards now.

Obviously I can't use Fred Hoiberg's record here thus far as an argument in his favor. I would only point out that initially he had faith in his system, with Matt Abdelmassih as his lone recruiter. He stayed faithful to his plan for 3 years. How long should one trust the system will work before they realize it won't? I don't pretend to know, but I feel like FH believed they finally assembled the right players last year to execute his plan, and of course we know what happened. I believe he now knows what it takes to be competitive in the Big Ten, and it's not with players like Teddy Allen, no disrespect intended. It's difficult enough to kick-start a perennially bad team into becoming a winner, let a lone have to do it in the Big Ten. Steve Pikiell got it going in year 4, a year ahead of Fred, and who knows what could have been this year with all hands available. One sliver lining is next year our reserves will be a lot more seasoned from day one. If next year we're playing on Wednesday again in the Big Ten Tourney, then my gut feeling was flat wrong. I hope I'm not.

Uh, it’s not hard to make Wilhelm fall over.

Same with Wilhelm pump faking and dribbling into another turnover.

If Wilhelm starts I wonder if we see some Oleg today.

For me it comes down to, "Do you think FH can eventually build a winner here?" I think he has it in him. He's very intelligent, has a great basketball mind, has good coaches, and I think he found something this year with trying to change the culture. Hope he stays.

Hell, if it's late and we have to protect the lead with free throws, put him in I say.

What I DONT want to see is Penn State foul us. It’s a turnover.

Holy hell, with the free throws.

Did I hear a “Gooooo biiiggg reeddddd!” On the last PSU free throw?

Love it!

Who’s doing that to them?

Where the hell was the foul there?

Someone needs to clandestinely poke a finger in Pickett’s eye
