Losing by 1 point = asses kicked. I guess this is meant as hyperbole but if a certain president said something like this they would try to put him in jail or bankrupt him.

Unfortunately almost winning actually still is losing. This program needs to start winning Big 10 games on a much more consistent basis, and at the very least execute an offense in the last five minutes of a game, which they never seem to do, and play determined defense, which is the first thing that an overmatched team should do.

Let's face it. This is turning into a very disappointing second season for Rhoades because it appears as of there is no progress. In fact, this team now is less competitive than last season (losing by 40 some points at Illinois last week), which doesn't make sense. This season now appears to be another write-off, so Rhoades really needs to show substantial progress next season or any faith that has been put into him should be withdrawn.

It's a shame that a game like tonight is just a mere formality: you know that PSU is going to lose and most likely it won't be competitive.

Political trolling on this topic? Dude, get yourself some help.

If Baldwin isn't on his A game - there is no plan B. How the hell does Rhoades have a roster so imbalanced. It's like he and Franklin have a drinking game for worst position group in State College - Wide Receiver or Guard....

Rhoades inherited an empty roster. It takes more than portal players and one freshman class to balance a roster. I give him a pass for this year.

Yes, he’s got another good group coming in next year, you have to give him a couple years to get his guys in

Bouncyball sucks, watch wrestling.

8 fouls to 2 against PSU already…home court advantage for MSU.

 

[AWS1022]

11 fouls to 3 (and one of MSU’s was a technical). Not going to upset anyone with that kind of discrepancy.

 

[ryoder1]

Headed toward giving up 50 in the half. At least play tough defense.

I'm pretty sure Baldwin is still hurting. He's not even trying to take the ball into the paint. He's playing off the ball instead of running the offense. I know it's tough to give away another game but I think he should be sitting.

Hanging with Sparty in the second half.

Dunn carrying us on offense…18 points.

 

[AWS1022]

Hanging in there, but every time we get close, MSU stretches the lead back out.

 

[AWS1022]

Better than I thought it would be, but too many turnovers and MSU has too many weapons…90-85.

 

[ryoder1]

Just not good enough to beat the #12 team on the road. Good effort. Needed that against Oregon and Indiana and we probably win those games.

Ace is definitely not 100%.

Indiana at home was the game we had to win. We played Oregon & Illinois tough on the strength of 3 pt shooting but those are tough games to win on the road.

Except one of them made the final four and you still complain.

Nothing has changed or will change without a big upgrade in recruiting. Does anyone see that happening.

its already happened. this current group of freshmen and the one coming in have some of the best players PSU has ever recruited. The reality is that this team is still a top 50 team, the Big ten is just very deep.
