Maryland & Illinois are must wins if we have any shot at the tournament.

Wow. This again? When will we learn. I see #4 from Maryland is killing us for the 5th straight time. LOL. This team and this coach were biogenetically designed to break our hearts.

That's what you got out of that half???

We are the better team in this match-up, plain and simple

 

[nitlion93]

Not many fouls being called; I like it.

 

[nitlion93]

Watkins getting a long rest at the 730 mark. Guys up by 8 but just can’t pull away.

 

[bison13]

up 8 with 7 to go, you have to win.

 

[Nitwit]

Not a comfortable game. The offense is standing around. No one making a run. This could be close at the end unless our defense can keep up the pressure.

 

[bison13]

It's a shame that the only offense PSU has in the last 6 minutes of a close game is Carr ISO's. At least Reaves cuts when Carr gets it on the block, but otherwise its take 25 seconds off and get Carr the ball to shoot with 2 left.

 

[psrurock]

Garners two bricks don't help.

 

[LionsandBear]

Gotta close this game out. No turnovers, rebound the ball and make sure our shooters take good shots.

 

[bison13]

Need a better press break idea then throw it deep to Watkins. Garner and Carr need to screen for each other with Stevens or Reaves inbounding and the other one flash from the 3 pt line

[bison13]

Excellent D to get the W, but need to make some FT.

 

[BobPSU92]

Win!

 

[AWS1022]

Great game by Stevens.

 

[Norm Petersin]

Nits win sweet

 

[LionJim]

Win!

VICTORY.

 

[francofan]

Penn State wins 74-70! These are the games you have to win to have a chance of going dancing. Stevens, Carr, Reaves, and Watkins all had good games.

"Pat, you know we beat the terps 66-3, right?"

 

[johnmpsu]

A nice solid win. Played excellent D and Stevens was superb.

 

[BobPSU92]

VICTORY.

WE. ARE.

 

[hotmetal]

We have more talent than Maryland. We shouldn't have to struggle like this.

 

[Lion8286]

That dimwit @rokar has been MIA.

 

[psuro]

Just win baby.

 

[CattyGuy51]

I can't help what could have been if Reeves hadn't miss those games.

 

[cfbinsider]

Can we go one basketball thread without someone saying something STUPID. We were a 4.5 pt favorite, we won by 4. Huerter and Cowan could start for ANY team in the B1G.

We got 1 good recruiting class. Maryland gets solid recruiting classes EVERY YEAR.

 

[Relayer]

I can't help what could have been if Reeves hadn't miss those games.

No worries, I'm sure the selection committee will take that under consideration.

Watch the way you are treating people man, calm down. We actually have 2 good recruiting classes on this team (as in, possibly the 2 best classes in our program's history) as well as Jamari Wheeler (#2 in the conf in steals) and Shep (our soph and junior recruiting classes both had 2 4* recruits in them).

That is not stupid, rather that is correct. We are the better team and had the better talent on the floor.

 

[Psubot]

No worries, I'm sure the selection committee will take that under consideration.

The National Invitational Tournament Committee? Yes, they will. Two more wins and we are NIT bound.

Dance ain't happening.

Who the F put you on the committee?

Actually, they do

You should probably just stick to YES discussions.

 

[Psubot]

Who the F put you on the committee?

Just going by Jerry Palm. He's fairly knowledgeable. Says 11-7 will not do it.

It was stupid. We were the slightly better team, they are missing a couple key players. People need to stop being a boneheads and act like we're suppose to roll every team we face. PSU Basketball Fan IQ is nearly 0.

Maryland has two elite players that gave us everything they had. That was a great win tonight, period, and no we shouldn't have easily beaten them.

 

[cfbinsider]

Just going by Jerry Palm. He's fairly knowledgeable. Says 11-7 will not do it.

If one of those 11 is @ Purdue, yes it will and if not, with two wins in the B1G tourney, yeah it will. Hot teams get rewarded and our 1-3 stretch without Reaves could draw a favorable look as well from the committee.

 

[Psubot]

If one of those 11 is @ Purdue, yes it will and if not, with two wins in the B1G tourney, yeah it will.

The question posed to him included a win at Mackey. He said no. You include two wins in the tourney, that was not part of the question posed to him. With everything you add in, sure, it could happen. They'll need all of that.

 

[psuguy43]

The National Invitational Tournament Committee? Yes, they will. Two more wins and we are NIT bound.

Dance ain't happening.

Agreed, most likely isn't happening. It still is possible though, but we can only drop 1 more game before the BTT --- it was a 6% chance of dancing before tonight. Now, I'm not sure what it is, but probably like 10%.

 

[Lion8286]

So when you said "ain't happening", you really meant could happen?? Some posters flip-flopping is simply amazing.

 

[psuro]

You guys just can't enjoy a win can you?
