Mahaffey did play really well. I know Njie is young, but man his hands are not good.
Mahaffey continues to impress…he’s playing like his hair’s on fire. 72-59 with 6 minutes left.
Of course that lane violation should have never happened because it was a horsesh!t call on Wynter and the dude shouldn’t have been at the line. If it was a foul, then it was offensive.
Definitely could have been T'd up, though I thought it was a good spot to swallow the whistle. You could tell that Pickett realized it immediately and said something to Lundy about it.
Yes, he definitely could have and probably should have been given a technical foul for a totally unnecessary and selfish act. He looked like a kid who just had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar after he did it.
PSU was leading by 13 with 5:38 remaining but nearly caught up with good shooting, good offensive rebounding, and FTs (fortunately they missed a few).
And that is how we have lost so many ball games before.....
There was nothing but praise for PSU's 1st half effort.
This is PSU basketball- I’ll take any WIN, regardless of how, why, or against whom! Don’t care what we played like, don’t care if it was ugly, or just hanging on waiting for the clock to hit 0:00 (which is what I was doing watching our 18 point lead drain to 2). Any in-conference win is awesome!
Agree but I wasn't happy with the second half effort and discipline. Sometimes the shots just stop falling and the other team gets hot regardless of how hard you play. That's basketball. But last night the defense just got lazy or tired.
My 2nd half issue was rebounding - Iowa got way too many put backs and 2nd opportunities. Drove me crazy!
Njie's play was limited because of foul trouble but we didn't see Dorsey at all. Is he injured or just benched? PSU doesn't have much of a chance against Purdue's big man but we can't play small all game.
Believe Dorsey was a coach’s decision…I expect we’ll see more of him (and Henn) the next two games as we face bigs that we simply can’t guard with Dread or Lundy.
I wonder what he's doing today. He had a good career playing internationally. It must have been difficult for him to live with that incident.Stanley Pringle Accused Of Masturbating In The Library
Stanley Pringle -- Pringle, Stanley! -- has been accused of pulling on his Jeff Cooper. According to a Penn State newspaper, Pringle "sat behind the victim in the stacks section of the library, attempted to start a conversation with the woman and began masturbating."www.nbcsports.com
My complaint about the second half was trying to milk the lead too early in the game. Taking the shot clock down to 1 and then firing up a turnaround, fadeaway jumper is not a good approach. Stick with what got you the lead. I’ve seen that too many times with PSU…it’s like they have no confidence in the fact that they’re actually winning the game, so they try to preserve it instead of just continuing to play. As soon as they started milking the lead (we were up 13 at the time) I knew it was going to be a close one.
