PSU MBB vs. #13 WVU exhibition today at Noon

[psuguy43]

On ATT Sportsnet Pittsburgh (Channel 800-something on comcast for me in Harrisburg). We get our first glimpse at the new guards.

MAJOR note - Watkins is out indefinitely. So, we only have one 5 on the roster (Harrar). We may be calling on Buttrick for some back-up minutes or going with a 4-guard set and putting Lamar there. Painful news, but you do what ya gotta do.

Indefinitely sounds like a long time. Is he practicing with the team?

I assume so, since it said he is traveling with the team.

 

[psuguy43]

This team looks good, even without Watkins. We'll see how they look when Harrar comes off the floor, but I like what I'm seeing.

 

[BobPSU92]

CLIMB. WITH. US.

 

[PSUdraw]

They said Watkins is been given time to in a sense take care of him self before he starts playing with his bi-polar.

They might be OK without Watkins but I can't see them being a tournament team without him. And at this point, Pat needs to have a tournament team.

If they have Watkins and Harrar I think they are a tournament team, unless they underachieve again.

Struggling with the pressure

 

[Custerdome]

Only two teams in all of power five basketball have had longer periods without an NCAA bid.

What? You mean w are not a perrenial NCAA team?

We know that. that's not news for anyone. Cut your shit - this is about the game in-progress right now. You can be interested in the team without constantly preaching that -- you remind me of the Williard Preacher telling everyone that they are going to hell

 

[Raffycorn]

Struggling with the pressure

To be expected, I suppose, with two freshmen and a sophomore in the backcourt. Good test for those guys.

As usual, Miles is wrong. But it is always entertaining when you make shit up.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Wheeler being able to hit those open 3’s is a huge key to the season.

gunsie back from the dead after hiding under his bed for the last month in shame.

 

[johnmpsu]

The team looks pretty good. Myles Dread has a sweet shot. It looks like he will be a good one.

 

[BlueBand]

43-31 at the half. Good guys.

 

[psuguy43]

I REALLY like how Dread looks. Up double digits at half on the road @ #13. Looking good (trying to contain my excitement for this season -- this is without our All-Big Ten 5, Mike Watkins)

 

[Victor E. Bell]

Mens hoops up 43-31 (H) in Morgantown

Some sloppy turnovers but some nice runs and good execution. ATT-Pitt on Comcast.

 

[bdgan]

Dread and Bolton look good for freshmen. Aggressive, get into the paint, and shoot pretty well. Struggled getting the ball up court against the press. Could get overmatched physically in the BiG until they get stronger. A few freshmen mistakes like cross court passes.

Stevens looked good. PSU is a small team w/o Watkins. Hope he gets returns soon.

 

[4INSBU]

Watkins is out indefinitely

 

[cigarowl]

Dread with 18 points. pSU up 6 with nine minutes to go.

 

[83wuzme]

Stunning housecoat that Huggy is wearing today.
Looks like somebody had several square yards of leftover tent grade flannel and put a zipper in it.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Anyone that has somewhere to be after a game will be happy with Bolton’s FT routine. Quickest release I’ve ever seen.

It's the Huggie Snuggie!

Myles Dread seems like the real deal.

 

[francofan]

Nice follow-up lay in by Reaves. Penn State wins 84-82! Nice exhibition win over a good West Virginia team. Hopefully this will be the year the Lions make the big dance.

 

[Victor E. Bell]

84-82 good guys, F. Nice.

 

[83wuzme]

Very impressive win. Dread is already playing at a high level.

 

[Custerdome]

Name the teams. Put your money where your mouth is apologist.

LMAO. Nearly every other team in all of power five college basketball has made that tournament in the past 7 years. It's not that hard to do, unless you are Penn State.

 

[Custerdome]

Quick question: Does that game count? That's what I thought.

8 years no bid.

 

[psuguy43]

We're going to dance this year. Won @ #13 by two, almost a wire-to-wire lead, without the best big men this program has seen in nearly 20 years.

Really? I just checked the won-loss record. Same as before.

I'll gladly put my $ where my mouth is. What are we going to put on it?

Penn State played in the NCAAs in 2011. Since only 2 teams (according to you) have had a longer drought, could you let me know which of these Power Conference teams you aren't counting?

Rutgers (1991)
Washington State (2008)
Mississippi State (2009)
Boston College (2009)
Georgia Tech (2010)

 

[johnmpsu]

Dread does not play like a freshman. Bolton looks good too. Bright future.

 

[psuguy43]

You're a joke. It's a confidence booster for our freshmen back court, and a team that is going to atlest spend a few weeks without their best big. Let me guess -- you were one of the people who jumped on the program when they lost to Ship in n exhibition game 10 years ago?? That was a sign of a rough season to come, well, it work both ways

 

[psuguy43]

Very bright. And, a Lamar 2.0 is coming next year in Seth Lundy.

Gunsie has no problem completely fabricating things, only to be proven a complete fool.

Wow, these kids fought hard for a win in Morgantown and you come here with this? Admit it, Chambers is building a consistently decent basketball program that can play with pretty much anyone in the Big Ten. There is no way in hell you turn a program like ours around overnight... winning the NIT is a huge step in the right direction.
