MBB vs Nebraska

[bdgan]

Slow start.

8-5 Nebraska

PSU 1-7 from 3 pt range

 

[AWS1022]

Not getting any better...16-8 Nebraska.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Missing a lot of really good looks...but in the dome, need to create some points in the paint and in transition.

 

[AWS1022]

12-0 run by Nebraska...20-8.

 

[bdgan]

Brockington plays under the pick.

 

[AWS1022]

24-13...Nebraska is getting hot.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Brockington plays under the pick.

We pretty much auto-switch on all of those, so not sure if that was on Brock or Harrar.

 

[BW Lion]

12-0 run by Nebraska...20-8.

How does a 12-0 run happen?

 

[Nitwit]

We’re turning it over and giving up open 3s. Nebraska is playing better defense than PSU, and we’re forcing bad shots. Wheeler is our only offensive weapon so far. Someone else needs to step up.

 

[FrontFlipper1]

So far the coaching tonight makes the decision easy.

 

[basic blues]

This performance is absolute garbage.

 

[AWS1022]

How does a 12-0 run happen?

Terrible shooting and 10 turnovers has a lot to do with runs....absolutely horrible.

 

[Novalions]

This performance is absolute garbage.

That’s an offense to garbage

 

[bdgan]

Opponents have started pressuring our guards on the perimeter and they don't handle it well. We keep passing the ball around the perimeter but not much cutting to the basket or taking their man off the dribble.

Jones ineffective. Brockington ineffective. Opponents have learned he's left handed.

 

[bdgan]

Dread's offense is limited to perimeter shooting and he's not a great shooter.

 

[bdgan]

Good grief. PSU gives a foul, then Harrar fouls and gives up 2 pts. What a disaster!

 

[basic blues]

Win or go home game and with the exception of wheeler the whole team comes out flat and extremely careless with the ball. They look like they can’t wait to get off the plane in happy valley and hang up the sneakers.

 

[PSU Soupy]

Myles Dread misses more open 3s than anyone in the country. He used to be a good shooter.

wheeler conversely has improved his shot over passed 3 years.

 

[AWS1022]

I’m not staying up to watch this...they may come back, but this is horrible.

 

[lunsmooth]

Really thought we could beat Nebraska and Wisky in this tourney and then take a swing at Iowa. Hope we come back, but judging by the carelessness and lack of urgency in first half, I am not optimistic.

 

[bdgan]

PSU shot 28% in the 1st half. 13% from 3. Also turned it over 10 times.

Look for PSU to pound the ball into Harrar to start the second half.

 

[OhioLion]

Well, on a positive note, nobody should be waiting to hear if the team will be opting out of the NIT.
🤷🏻‍♂️

OL

 

[FrontFlipper1]

Harrar’s last foul before the half with 6 seconds left is an example of no/zero/coaching. The next guy from Gloomsburg can collect the same foul. Luckily for us Nebraska has found themselves. I see coach either inspiring them with hairspray or the boys start launching and lady luck wins the day. Then again they will win and I’ll be back for the next one! Who has the bigger problem? PSU or me?

 

[bdgan]

PSU's 2 leading scorers:

Jones 16 ppg
Brockington 13 ppg

Tonight 0 points.

I noticed Jones do the same thing he did vs MD. He's not getting his shots so he gets frustrated and launches an I'll advised shot that results in a high rebound and an opportunity going the other way.

 

[bison13]

Well, wheres this energy been?

 

[bdgan]

Well, wheres this energy been?

Great start. Hope they don't run out of gas.

 

[Media Fan]

So far the coaching tonight makes the decision easy.

Is it possible that our streaky players might have something to do with it.
Streaky shooters are the kiss of death, and we have plenty of those.

 

[PearlSUJam]

 

[francofan]

Penn State takes a 51-50 lead with 9:10 left in the game.

 

[bdgan]

That 3 by Dread was wide open but not even close.

Then a 6'9" forward blows by him on D.

 

[fkkkjm]

That 3 by Dread was wide open but not even close.

No points, no rebounds, 1 assist, 2 fouls. Dreadful

 

[bdgan]

Ugh! Can't foul and stop the clock. PSU has done it twice in the last minute.

 

[Erial_Lion]

I’ve said it before...but I hate having Wheeler in the game in these spots instead of Sessoms

 

[RGWhirly]

Damn I hate the end of close basketball games with all the timeouts and fouls.

 

[johnmpsu]

Nice Win.

 

[lunsmooth]

Good comeback. Much better performance in 2nd half. Wisky tomorrow night at 9. Go State!

 

[The Spin Meister]

Tee hee. Won game by six!

 

[Erial_Lion]

Responded when we needed to...some shots started falling, and we picked up the intensity creating turnovers and creating extra chances on the offensive glass. Great job continuing to get to the line in the 2nd half once we got them in the bonus (and making our FTs). Will need that intensity for 40 minutes the rest of the way.

 

[bdgan]

Sessoms has an ugly flat FT. I'd prefer getting the ball to Brockington or Dread.

 

[BobPSU92]

Nice Win.

Outscored nebby by 20 in the 2nd half. nebby hates second halves.
