[harjeff]

First break at 16Min....

PSU 6 Duke 5


Go Lions!

 

[nitlion93]

Down 11-8 right now.

 

[harjeff]

Looks like Duke brought the refs today!!! Terrible call on Watkins for his 2nd foul

 

[nitlion93]

Couple offensive fouls on PSU so I guess the Duke flop is getting them.

That was a foul. He didn't have his arms straight up until the contact was made. Watkins needs to be smarter than that.

 

[harjeff]

16 - 10 Duke at second tv time out.


Not shooting well as usual

Everyone brings the refs against PSU. I've never seen a team get so many chicken shit fouls called against them. This is every game, every year.

 

[harjeff]

2 Duke players have went to the locker room with ankle injuries

Allen and Jeter

Allen hurt his ankle taking too many steps on that drive.

Awful shooting team.

 

[harjeff]

Awful shooting team.

I wouldn't say awful....but very inconsistent

 

[dwiz]

Duke down 2 injured players and what like 3 of their freshman not playing also?

 

[AWS1022]

I wouldn't say awful....but very inconsistent

22% is awful.

 

[harjeff]

Allen just cam back in...Jeter injury looked more serious

 

[harjeff]

22% is awful.

Right now....your're right awful....but at anytime Banks, Garner and company can get hot and knock down 4 or 5 3's in a row. I've seen it happen this year.....just need more consistency in hitting open looks.

28-19 at 4 min mark

 

[harjeff]

First foul shot attempt for PSU at 3min mark!

Doesn't shock me. Duke and Gonzaga are two of the teams that commit the least fouls yearly.

 

[PennStateNate]

Got a ways to go to compete with these guys. Duke also has 4 really good fresh.

 

[harjeff]

down 12 at the half

PSU 3-13 FROM 3
Duke 6-14 From 3

Pretty much difference in the game

 

[Yboby]

PSU missed some close-in shots when it was still close. Would rather see them keep attacking than hoisting 3s.

especially when they are missing soooo many!

 

[harjeff]

Some nice basketball by both teams in the 2nd half...Duke opened up 17 pt lead and PSU comes back and cuts it to 9.

 

[harjeff]

Duke with Back to Back 3's to push it back to 15 with 12 min left.

 

[harjeff]

PSU with a nice littel spurt cut it to 9 again, but Duke with a couple buckets goes back up 13 at 8min mark

 

[harjeff]

PSU with last run, but looks to come up short

down 8 with 40 secs left.

Still not a bad showing versus #1 team in the nation.

 

[Norm Petersin]

Good showing for young Nits. Excited about the future.

 

[21Guns]

Gave em a game. 2-2 now on the season and still haven't gotten Reaves back yet.

 

[psuguy43]

We had a shot to make it a 5 point game with under a minute remaining, just missed. Not a bad showing - Carr had his way against the #1 team as a young freshman. That's very telling of his ability. 20 points

 

[harjeff]

To be really successful; will need Garner and Banks ot be hitting the 3 ball as that will open all kinds of room for Carr and Stevens to work on the drive game.

 

[wbcincy]

Was unable to watch the game today, why did Watkins only log 10 minutes?

Yes I agree. Great effort and just competing with Duke shows how far Chambers has brought the program. Looking for great things the rest of the year. I think the NCAAs are in play for us this year.

Once Reaves gets back we should be able to compete with top 20 teams

Foul trouble early

 

[Nit16]

I guess I was wrong! Sucks being a Penn St hoop fan. Program feels better but really isn't anywhere near a legit top 35 program. We suck! Oh well!

Reaves is not a good shooter!!! We need some shooters, until that happens, we aren't going anywhere!!!
