Basketball NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUND OF 64: PENN STATE VS TEXAS A&M - 9:55 P.M. - TBS (PREVIEW & GAME THREAD)

[bdgan]

PSU shooting 73.3% from 3

 

[NittanyChris]

Tamu literally is hanging around because we simply can't defensive rebound

We have a 23 point lead and you’re pissing and moaning.

Unreal.

Unreal.

Lol ok dude

 

[pennstater04]

They just give A&M a point on Picketts free throw?

 

[DELion]

It certainly does look like aTm was mis-seeded.

 

[AWS1022]

It certainly does look like aTm was mis-seeded.

Or we were.

 

[bdgan]

Who cares? When we hit threes like this it doesn’t matter.

I care because sometimes thr shots don't fall like this.

Tonight we're getting away with it because Funk is having a career night and Taylor is 2-13.

 

[NittanyChris]

Lol ok dude

Lol is right. What would make you happy? Winning by 40? 50?

SMH.

 

[GregInPitt]

It certainly does look like aTm was mis-seeded.

Yep, TAM should have been the 10 and PSU should have been the 7.

Tonight we're getting away with it because Funk is having a career night.

And they can’t stop Pickett. And we’re passing the ball great. And we’re playing good defense. And on and on.

 

[nitlion93]

Up by 23 with 7:41 left.

 

[bdgan]

Up by 23 with 7:41 left.

Don't bring up the Rutgers game.

And if A&M can get this many offensive rebounds, how many would Texas get?

 

[pennstatepelly]

A&M only leads offensive rebounds 12-2

How much do they lead in the game?

 

[bdgan]

It certainly does look like aTm was mis-seeded.

A lot of people said they should have been a 5 seed.

 

[IANit]

When Shrew got Lundy out of the game with 32 seconds to go and TAM shooting foul shots I couldn't help but think that Pat would never have made that move. Shrew seems like the best game manager that PSU has had in a long time.....

As I said and people laughed - I think he is a National Championship caliber coach.

 

[OzLion]

Have had two straight shot clock violations, but killed a few minutes and are still up by 20+ with 5 minutes left

 

[fastlax16]

 

[nitlion93]

The offense has not looked pretty the last few possessions but they are just trying to break the press and kill the clock

Assuming that would have to be on Onlyfans.

 

[nitlion93]

A lot of people said they should have been a 5 seed.

CBS has Texas A&M ranked #18. They got screwed as a 7 seed and we got screwed to have to play them in the first round. We were ranked #32 so they had us better than the Committee seed too so they are thinking the same thing.

 

[knickslions]

What a way to start St Patrick’s Day

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

And if A&M can get this many offensive rebounds, how many would Texas get?

About the same

 

[The Spin Meister]

So where is the heart pounding, hold your breath , white knuckle finish we all know and love?

 

[bdgan]

Tough night for Lundy but it obviously doesn't matter. After a while a scorer wants to score and starts forcing shots. That's him tonight.

 

[DELion]

Charles Barkley was pretty close on his prediction of a 15 point victory. He just had the wrong winner.

 

[OzLion]

Final rebound total 38 - 32, FYI (17-8 offense)

 

[AWS1022]

Tough night for Lundy but it obviously doesn't matter. After a while a scorer wants to score and starts forcing shots. That's him tonight.

He does that a lot unfortunately…then the more he forces, the more he misses because he’s taking bad shots.

 

[87 Penn St8]

12:12 last horn...well worth it!

 

[DELion]

That game was a thing of beauty. Definitely worth staying up for.

 

[nitlion93]

Impressive win. Great shooting, passing, spacing, ball control, and defense without fouling too much. The only negative was giving up so many offensive rebounds but that’s not that surprising since A&M missed a lot of outside shots and we have a smaller lineup.

 

[AWS1022]

Funk was the man tonight.

 

[OzLion]

On the other hand: PSU Shooting

48.2% from 2

59.1% from 3

81.8% at the Line

 

[bdgan]

Funk 8-10 from 3.

I really thought aTm would do a better job taking him out of the game in the second half and force Lundy or Dread to beat them.

 

[bdgan]

I agree.

I wouldn't be up at this hour to watch Oral Roberts.

 

[republion]

12:12 last horn...well worth it!

Absolutely. And not having a single drink today, I’ll be 100% primed and ready for the bar at 11am tomorrow for a fun filled day of hoops and St. Pattys day.

 

[AWS1022]

Any guess what time we will play Saturday?

 

[87 Penn St8]

Been a longgggt tme since we experienced a W in the Tourney. Cjarles Barkley ate his Crow. Sir Charles picked the Horns. We Are!

 

[87 Penn St8]

Absolutely. And not having a single drink today, I’ll be 100% primed and ready for the bar at 11am tomorrow for a fun filled day of hoops and St. Pattys day.

I didn't drink today/night either. Flyers game w all you can eat and beers loaded ticket. Will likely spend half the game in the club watching hoops. Happy St. Patty's Day!
