Basketball GAME THREAD: Penn State MBB @ Northwestern

[scrivener]

Lundy lost on D gives Buie wide open 3.

Dread actually made a shot!

And Lundy was getting on Pickett for D apparently...my how the turn tables.

Micahs insistence to play Dread is embarrassing. He is a terrible overall player. Evan and or Kebba need to be in there for size and athleticism.

Kebba is a twig that gets rag dolled. It takes a big time coach to recruit bigs and Micah ain't that.

Then Mahaffey or Clary should get minutes...Dread is a ZERO if he isn't hitting shots...he's bad on defense, doesn't rebound and can't dribble

Problem is Mahaffey doesn’t do anything either (except foul) and Clary gives up way too much size.

Henn and Kjie are jokes.

Njie will be good by the time he's a junior.

True...but Mahaffey is at least naturally long....bring Kebba back in for boards. We are getting hurt on the glass

 

[nitlion93]

Not hitting foul shots may make a difference tonight

Biggest things that’s hurting us are the turnovers and he’s not going to help with that.

 

[bdgan]

Plenty of time but I don't see anybody stepping up to take control of this game. Pickett 2 missed FTs are probably a result of constant pressure.

It did vs Rutgers too

I have no confidence we can win this game. NW has a couple of guys who are clutch…we don’t seem to have that. Hopefully someone steps up consistently here at the end.

 

[ryoder1]

Any chance we can finally come up big in crunch time?

 

[bdgan]

Barhheizer averages 6.8 pts. 17 so far tonight.

 

[nitlion93]

For f sake Lundy, make a point blank shot.

 

[scrivener]

We just cannot get a big rebound… it's unbelievable how soft this team is

 

[ryoder1]

Terrible possession. Need a stop desperately.

 

[bdgan]

How many times does PSU need a big play in the final minutes and come up short?

One chance but Funk missed. Maybe Pickett should have tried to draw the foul.

Picked a bad day to quit huffing glue.

 

[nitlion93]

Funk making some shots but we keep giving up offensive rebounds. Some of those hit the ground so not just lack of size

 

[AWS1022]

How many times does PSU need a big play in the final minutes and come up short?

They dribble around until the shot clock is expiring then forces something poor up.

 

[scrivener]

That's why I like Mahaffey in there over Dread...yuge rebound😊

 

[ryoder1]

Go to Pickett, go to hoop or kick out. Ref will swallow whistle.

They will give to Dread for a three!

 

[scrivener]

They will give to Dread for a three!

That would be #psuhoops

 

[nitlion93]

Dang. OT

 

[AWS1022]

Can’t find that clutch shooter….Funk was wide open.

 

[nitlion93]

I was rooting for a Lundy redemption game winner. oh well

 

[ryoder1]

What we wanted just didn't go down. Win this 5 minutes.

 

[AWS1022]

OT is not usually our friend…and on the road makes it that much harder.

 

[87 Penn St8]

Win or lose that ending and miss by Funk is the story of our season. Gritty, likable team. Overachievers inmany respects. Can't hit he big shot. Can't close.

 

[scrivener]

Those two missed Lundy layups were so huge.

 

[bdgan]

Wynter was OOB when ball hit him

 

[fkkkjm]

Lundy sucks

 

[AWS1022]

Wynter was OOB when ball hit him

He also got fouled on the layup.

 

[bdgan]

Hold for last shot.

Finally!

 

[scrivener]

What did I say all night on here Mahaffey should be playing dread should be sitting. End of story

 

[nitlion93]

Wow. Huge three by Wynter after the offensive rebound by Mahafee

 

[AWS1022]

That's why I like Mahaffey in there over Dread...yuge rebound😊

Good call.

 

[fkkkjm]

Mahaffey and Wynter!!!!!

 

[The Spin Meister]

😱

 

[AWS1022]

Wow.
