PSU vs Yale MBB Game Thread

[Erial_Lion]

We won the NIT.

Sorry, I meant in-season tournament. Seems they’ve been our Achilles heel, and we’ve had many poor performances in them in the past 20+ years.

Yes, I think we will be. But technically it is not the first time in 23 years. I think we ranked #25 in one of the final polls in 2001.

Ah....once again......no. please bone up on Penn State MBB.

WTF

WTF

I was addressing your contention that we would be ranked this week. We are not.

I said the last time we were ranked was the final poll of 2001.

You told me to "bone up" on PSU basketball, which I am not even sure what that means. I assume it means study up.

So I did, and I was exactly right about the year, poll, and exact ranking.

Then you pointed out it was from 2001. No kidding.

Forget about 2001. You posted that you "think" we would be ranked in this week's poll and I simply replied..."ah...no." The polls have never been kind to PSU MBB. You must be very young if you've never heard the expression "bone up". But yes, it means to "study up". If you have you would learn that historically Penn State has not regarded been very highly by the pollsters.

you were pretty vague in what you were referring to. I too thought you meant never ranked in a poll.

Really? Oh well, I'm old so I'm used to being misunderstood.

SFA win @ Duke further shows that games like this happen (and Yale, per KenPom, is much better than SFA). The important thing is that we won.

I am getting to the home stretch of life and I would give both of my testicles for a W over Boeheim and Syracuse. The damn things always got me in trouble anyway, so no big loss.

Hey, alright!!! First come, first serve. Bring a big sack cause they are larger than the average guys!

We’ll have fewer votes than we had last week.
