Ended up playing Michigan +7.5 tonight (was gonna pass at 7)...we covered the one other time I played against us, so hopefully we win by 25 and it happens again (and Ace only plays 37 minutes to get tons of rest). I think they are a crappy matchup for us as they are better than their record would make you think, and the tournament gives them a fresh start. Need to get out early on them and keep up our improved defensive rebounding.

Need Ace to bring it and get help from Wahab and some good shooting from Kern, Puff, Hicks, Dunn.

Can you guys do a big for an old Luddite that doesn’t do streaming and post updated scores instead of just constantly posting about how terrible we are?😉

Thanks in advance 😻

Maybe they can call you on your landline and give you updates. Use the US Postal Service to mail you the results?

It’s on Sirius channel 85.

 

[AWS1022]

Wahab can’t make a shot.

 

[LMTLION]

Ugly game thus far.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Really bringing some defensive intensity to start.

 

[NC2017]

33-22 good guys HALF

 

[Erial_Lion]

Really doing a good job with the ball screen defense.

 

[AWS1022]

Just an ugly game by both teams.

 

[redpsulion]

30-20 good guys

 

[The Spin Meister]

Go Hicks! 10-0 run!

 

[The Spin Meister]

Have you got a fax machine?

I just cut out a newspaper article and faxed it to my brother!

 

[knickslions]

This first I’ve seen Michigan this year. They really are terrible

 

[CattyGuy51]

Hicks with four 3s. Yes, very ugly game but up by 11 at the half.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Lilley is a huge upgrade over Aire at this point for those backup minutes at the 5.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Hicks with three 3s. Yes, very ugly game but up by 11 at the half.

It’s actually 4…really needed those!

4 threes

Hicks is 4/6 according to stat broadcast

 

[AWS1022]

A different Michigan team coming out of the half.

Just do the guy a favor and post the score he asked for....then shut up.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Such a great pass from Ace to set up that big bucket to stop the run, and the 4th on Reed.

Getting the sense that Lilley just can’t go.

 

[The Spin Meister]

He has long been on ignore.

 

[NITTANYJGK]

He has long been on ignore.

PSU leads 53-46; 9 minutes to go.

PSU leads 53-46; 9 minutes to go.

Thanks. Got the stat cast going. But the stat line quit showing Hicks, only five players.

Edit: And now it is showing Hicks. Must be just the five on the court. 5-9 threes

They show the 5 on the floor…switch to change view and look at the full box score if you’d like.

 

[Erial_Lion]

O’Boyle has done a nice job tonight battling their bigs…he’s more of a Patriot League 4 than a Big Ten 5, but he’s not backing down.

You're an angry elf.

 

[NITTANYJGK]

63-51 good guys; 4 minutes to go.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Could Kyle Neptune survive a loss tonight? This would be a shocking egg to lay.

 

[NewEra 2014]

Wow Michigan is so bad. I wonder if Juwan Howard keeps his job. Maybe the good press he gets will help.

 

[Kasparaitis]

Let’s be honest. Any win in this league is a good win.

I think this is it for him.

 

[PurposePitch]

Surprised it was as close as it was for so long. Would have hoped the Lions would have brought more focus and put a lifeless Wolverine crew out of their misery earlier.

 

[NITTANYJGK]

Let’s be honest. Any win in this league is a good win.

Agree, especially after we had to start building a team from square one. Great job coach.

 

[johnmpsu]

Nice win. One more win and they finish at least .500 with a likely NIT bid. We'll done.
