on fire. Knocks off #17 Maryland 78-61.
Penn State basketball
- Thread starter searay26
- Start date
The game was never close. We are finally playing good basketball.
IT's actually rather funny... a few weeks ago Chambers said he thinks the team is in a good place and finally playing well. He was ripped to shreds.
He was right in hindsight.
LdN
Two of the last three are vs. Illinois and Rutgers. All of a sudden 7 conference wins looks very doable, and even 8 is possible.
Hard to believe after an 0-11 start

Yeah, I watch every game I can, live or DVR. They were so close to winning games in that 0-8 start of the big ten. I you only look in the W/L column, it was hard to see the potential. Not elite potential, but potential to beat some very good teams on a given night. After Penn State beat Michigan, one of the morning drive guys on College Sports Radio was saying how bad a loss it was for Michigan. I called in to defend Penn State but was summarily dismissed. Now that they inured out how to play together and finish games, they are winning. I don’t think they can dig themselves fully out of the whole they dug for themselves and make it to the dance. My guess is that Chambers has saved his job though.
Got to give PC credit, team could have cashed in the season 3 weeks ago. The ran some sets tonight I hadnt seen all year. Maybe they finally ran them right but either way the staff made that improvement to get it done. I dont know why he didnt use more of the 3/4 trap as myself any many others here suggested early in the year. Team could actually make it out of the bottom four for the conference tourney
Ugh, been a stressful year of Men's hoops but man the last few weeks have been encouraging. Damn it, don't check my post history, but extend Pat. These young kids are finishing... and that is more important than anything in a year like this.
If they play like they did tonight, they can win the conference tourney!
I heard that call. It was Taylor Zarzour and Greg McElroy I believe. They didn’t give you much of a chance to speak.
It's too bad winning the B1G Ten Tournament doesn't still punch your ticket to the big dance... regardless it would be a hell of a story. Back to back NIT Champs anyone?
You may want to check your facts.
??? The BIG 10 Conference tourney champ receives an automatic bid.
I heard that too. Zarzour was especially a real d%ck. Call'em again Dan.

If you didn't do this correction I was about to lmao ... wondered how it got messed up twice
Two-year extension for every win the rest of the season?
Think it is too little too late, but up to 49 in espn bpi is interesting.
Beating Wisconsin would continue an amazing stretch and make a .500 possible
Don't give her ideas. Heard that she was thinking along the lines of one with a $250k raise per.
Hey guys new member.. it's good to see the lions playing well
The collective knowledge of the morning drive 'guys', lol is limited by their lack of anything useful upstairs...... Why waste precious time listening to them when any radio is still capable of finding static.
Playing a B10 championship game on Wednesday would be key to getting to .500, and I can't see that happening if we win the remain 3 games (we'd then get an opening day bye). Such is the weird state of PSU basketball
Your right. We get the bye, we would probably need to beat someone like Minnesota and MSUPlaying a B10 championship game on Wednesday would be key to getting to .500, and I can't see that happening if we win the remain 3 games (we'd then get an opening day bye). Such is the weird state of PSU basketball
No matter what. Need one more large upset at least. Three wins and 2-1 in the tournament. Loss in semis
We'll jump to #12 tonight assuming Nebraska loses to Michigan. If we beat Illinois at home on 3/10, we'd have two head-to-head wins over them, most likely bumping us out of the bottom 4.
Playing well...but could easily lose game #1 of Big10 tourney...and we are not winning the Tourney - no way!
while they are playing well enough to individually beat all of those top teams, to ask them to do it all in a row without much rest or prep time is crazy. Im excited for the last few games and hope they can pull out a couple W's to get to teh NIT and make a run there.
Where do we go from here? This is the last year for Reaves. Stevens & Watkins could also leave. PSU could be starting over if that hapoens.
This^^^. If Stevens and Watkins stay, we have a chance to make the tournament (not a good chance considering Pat’s history, but a chance). If they leave, we’re looking at a worse year next year with no relief in sight.
Welcome aboard, with reservations. You clearly are a new member, but the question is whether you are an old member who got banned and have taken a new identity, or a troll from another school masquerading as a Penn State fan, or actually a Penn State fan. Like most here I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but.....
Ah, regardless of what, or who, you are, welcome. Really.
.
I love Reaves game and swagger. I think the more experienced Bolton, Dread, and Jones will pick up his slack just fine. Wheeler is a baller on defense as well. If Stevens and Watkins leave, we will be very limited on the front line. I really hope they both return
