PSU MBB vs Kent State on now on FS1. Down 23-15 with

- Start date
Kent's probably been the best program in the MAC over the last ~10 or so years, and they probably should win this game. It would be nice to be able to pull out a win in this tournament after coming so close against Colorado.
Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten. It's tied at 35 with 2 min to go in 1st half.
PSU up 42-37 at the half. Taylor with 19. I think he's shooting 8 for 10. He's been on FIRE.

Colorado is a borderline top 25 team and as said above Kent St is the best program in the MAC over the past 10 years. Made it to elite 8 I believe in 08 or 09. This would be a solid win if they can pull it out, especially with Garner having an O-fer in the first half
Kent made the Elite 8 in 2002 - but that's still a heck of a lot more recent than our last E8 appearance. It was when Antonio Gates was a PF for them, they were the #10 seed, upset #3 Pitt in the Sweet 16 and ended up losing to Indiana. It was the year that Maryland won it all.
I like our D. Offense is spotty, FT% has been bad for awhile (years) but a person can see there is definite improvement here compared to years past.
A win it was, 75-69. I like teams that get their share of blocks. Kent didn't like the back court pressure, so we can create some points hopefully that way. Man do we miss a lot of FTs. It cost us games before and will continue but it "is what it is." Reaves had a nice putback jam. There is more ability 1-thru-5 than we've seen here in years.
Nice gritty win over a team that played #18 tough last night. Also a good game last night against #29 Colorado. I had hoped for maybe 3 or 4 BIG wins this year as prep for next year but a look at the schedule is disappointing. The three worst teams in the BIg excepting PSU are Nebraska, Rutgers, and Minnesota and we play all three only once!! And two are on the road. So if we get 2 of those 3 we would need an upset or 2 for the other wins. Doubt that happens.
PSU wins 75 -69. Taylor with 29. Reaves is a player. Things are looking up.
Great win - Reaves continues to assert himself and find his game, although his jumper hasn't broken through yet. He's easily the most dynamic athlete we've had at Penn State since Geary Claxton. He'll be worth the price of admission for the next four years.
Why is it that when we lose the hate messages flow..The coach must go etc..
We win and very little positive comment follows.
Smell the roses when you can.
Saw several games at BJC last year. This is a better team. May not win as many games but it is a better team.

In 2017, you betcha.
This year the realistic goal is to win 6 conference games, somehow.
I think we are behind if we only win six next year. Next year is year six, and we will still be young, but we need to be better than that next year.
