Starters are Bolton Reaves Stevens buttrick Watkins

Edit: Watkins isn’t starting. John is. Collegian got it wrong. They are fake news

No thanks

Watching with zero expectations

 

[Nitty_Lion]

Of course the collegian got it wrong. Watkins isn’t starting. John is

 

[Nitty_Lion]

Still waiting on Harar to develop a single half court post move on offense

 

[NedFromYork]

I don't get Harrar, he was a beast in the NIT. It's like he demurred with the return of Watkins.

 

[psugisher]

Game is ugly. Longer it stays that way, the longer we’ll hang around

Lol what? Beast in the NIT? Without a stat sheet in front of me the guy averaged like 5 points and 5 rebounds in the NIT

 

[Nitty_Lion]

I don’t like Chambers putting his hands on dread and shoving him like that. He’s a freshman. Coach him, don’t berate him and humiliate him.

 

[Nitty_Lion]

We are on pace to score 36. Atta boy Pat! Attitude!

 

[jppsu1]

This is hard to watch.

 

[PennStateProud55]

Just gotta be patient

 

[Raffycorn]

Down five at the half. Ugly - but that works in our favor in this one.

 

[Nitty_Lion]

Mich making their run now ugh

 

[Nitty_Lion]

Reaves has really been a disappointment in his senior year. I had high hopes for him.

 

[Nitty_Lion]

Bolton is a turnover machine. Yikes

On the plus side, I just learned how to kick myself in the balls. Took my mind off of this game.

 

[PA_JOE]

Obviously a mismatch here although I had a feeling we’d keep it close for a while. How about an OT observation.... is it just me or does Michigan ALWAYS have 2 or 3 guys on their roster that look like complete azzholes (ie true Michigan men). I’m looking at you #’s 13 and 15.

Dakich stating the obvious with our offensive scheme. Slammed us for our offense where everyone stands around near the perimeter and no in out ball movement

 

[84Lion]

In the vein of Steely Dan's "Can't Buy A Thrill," Penn State is either "Can't Buy A Basket" or "Can't Make A Dunk."
Penn State trying to make a basket is like pulling teeth.

 

[lunsmooth]

Penn State is so tough to watch offensively. Little to no movement, bad shots from deep, etc. I know we lost Carr and Garner, but I was expecting more from this group. Disappointing.

Year after year after year we have a bunch of guys who can’t shoot for sh!t.

Michigan comes out of halftime making adjustments and getting some good/easy looks on offense. We come out and turn the ball over several times and then stand around and look completely lost.

Pattitude

 

[Pocono Lion]

Dakich is really pretty blunt with his criticism of PSU.

 

[Nitty_Lion]

Why is Zemgulis flexing his muscles on the bench as if he just did something?

 

[BobPSU92]

Did he get a sack?

 

[hotmetal]

We should hire Dakich as head coach. He knows everything.

 

[Nitty_Lion]

Lamar still can’t hit a 3 and Rasir jacks up an ill advised 72 footer

 

[basic blues]

Dakich is really pretty blunt with his criticism of PSU.

He’s not wrong.

 

[basic blues]

They are going to need a new backboard in crisler after the game. There have to be several dents in the backboard on the PSU end by now.

 

[GregInPitt]

Can they just make it close so Pat can count it as a Moral Victory??

 

[jppsu1]

Geez, Reaves can’t even make a lay up!

 

[PennStateProud55]

This team plays really hard

 

[Code Blue]

Good game, folks.

 

[nitlion93]

I was really impressed with the 2nd half interior game by Stevens and Watkins; may have been Watkins best game this year. I’m not sure how good UM’s inside defense is, but overall are very good defensively. If the outside game and guard play wasn’t so bad, we would have been competitive. What happened to Reaves, Dread, and Bolton’s outside shot?

 

[ILLINOISLION]

I counted five PSU airballs on 3s in the last 3 1/2 minutes. Not that it would have made a difference.

 

[Yboby]

Too bad our 53-game streak of not losing by more than 12 points finally came to an end.
