Not just "college ball" it's the NBA too

If anyone had hope we would make the tournament this year, a loss to DePaul and a loss to Bradley put a big hurt on that.
There will be others like these that will render them irrelevant.Man.... this Bolton kid.
I don’t know what else they have (probably not much to choose from) but he needs to stop being “what he’s being” pretty soon
Just a freshman - - but between the DePaul game and this one, he has to at least learn to step back and not allow his play to sink the team. Give the ball up and let the game come to you kid.
I’m guessing, like a lot of freshman one would suppose, that he’s still used to being a one-man wrecking crew as a HS kid.
You gotta find a way to “grow” these freshman..... but these two games he has given away (assuming this one doesn’t turn around) May very well be HUGE come NCAA selection time.
Eight years to rebuild us from a mediocre basketball program to a mediocre basketball program. Nice work.No excuse for this. When will people realize chambers has to go.
Hard to win a game when you shoot 4-27 from behind the 3 pt line.
Hard to believe they actually had a shot off the missed free throw to tie it at the buzzer. With that amount of time that’ll happen maybe 1% of the time.
It looked like Stevens was trying to make that shot. What are the chances you can get a steal and score in 1.5 seconds? Certainly no chance to foul and get the ball back down the court.Hard to win a game when you shoot 4-27 from behind the 3 pt line.

Watkins returning would make a big difference.Lmfao. We aren’t making the NIT.
OKC vs Golden State are combined 0-12 from 3 in 1st Qtr. Maybe there is a future on one of those teams for our guys.The team looked tired tonight. I seriously wonder if they spent too much time in the sun today.

Followed by the heartbreak of another OT loss.That would have been THE PLAY OF THE DAY on SPORTSCENTER if it had gone in!
I realize they do not have the bigs to do this as of now but with all of the guards/wings Pat is playing, they need to be a little more up tempo, use the athleticism of those guys and get them some cheap buckets to instill confidence. Dread and Bolton need to see the ball go in the hoop. Get them a closer shot or a FT. It would require Stevens to play some 5 until Watkins is back and thus give Lamar some actual breaks too but even on makes they need to initiate their offense earlier somehow.
When I coached, whether it was HS or D3, any time our shooters were not hitting we did one of two things; inverted the offense so they got a post opportunity or we ran a quick hitter for them going to the basket. The point of both of these was to get them either a.) a lay up or b.) a FT attempt. The game is so mental that guys just need to see the ball go in or to get a couple points so they dont have a 0 by their name in the point column.

No worries, we’re recruiting Philly. We’re not winning, but we’re recruiting Philly.
They were playing Bradley...there should have been some times they looked good...:unfortunately, there weren’t very many of them. And again, it was against Bradley.And let's not forget that the stats at the bottom of the eye chart are improving! We're just not seeing the improvement in the win-loss record!
I may watch the 2nd half of the game. I watched the first half and there were times when I really liked what I saw. There were some good plays, getting good baskets, things looking kind of good. They were playing competitively. Then again, they were making mistakes too. Bradley did too, though. What bothered me was that too often, Penn State seemed to dissolve into "playground basketball" and get a little wild with the passing and shots. I thought Bradley looked a bit more disciplined and patient. It's a shame because Chambers does seem to be getting good players. Then again, the shooting percentages were awful. 29% FG, 15% from 3 pt (!) - at least they were 82% from the FT line. 2nd half must have been brutal because they didn't look that bad in the 1st half.
We need more unathletic guys that can play the game.
I really think this will be both PC’s and CJF’s challenge going forward.Fundamentals are important.
Hopefully the woman’s basketball coach gets fired.
Washington is probably a better coach than Chambers but that isn't saying much
That’s it. Time to start thinking about the next coach
This will be the first big hire for Sandy
He shoots way too much!Man.... this Bolton kid.

Uh, no. PSU ladies play like they are still in 6th grade on the playground.

How about at this point why not? If it backfires, we don’t have very far to fall and it won’t be that hard to get back to where we are since this is pretty much where we always are. But we may catch lightning in a bottle with a new hire and actually make a tournament appearance once.At this point why? It is what it is. PSU MBB is what they are. Watched Duke-Zags and PSU is light years behind them. They prob had 7 guys who will be NBA Starters. PSU has none and no program prestige to get any. Changing coaches may also backfire. With Chambers you are going to get 15-20 wins and few upsets a year. They will never compete for a title ever.
