TV alert. PSU MBB vs Iowa at 7 on BTN tonight

Not a bad start. PSU up 18-12. Iowa shooting poorly and we are rebounding well.
 
PSU down 2 at the half. Iowa got hot hitting three pointers and used a 14-1 run late in the half to take the lead.
 
Iowa with a BS airball from 3 that gets tipped in at the buzzer taking it to OT.
 
Is there a reason we consistently wait until about 5 seconds on the shot clock to take a shot?

Guys came up big in 2OT. Dread made 2 “critical“ FTs. Make that 4. Team FT percentage actually ended up ok.
 
Solid W and really felt like it was ours to lose. Both teams had great performances from some unexpected sources. Career high for #21. Lundy with a big 3 and some solid D on Keegan Murray. Nice job overall...traditionally we wouldn't pull this out...entertaining

Iowa was lucky to get it in OT to begin with. Glad we earned the W. Also their coach Fran Mccaffery is incredibly annoying. Did you see him cursing up a storm at the clock operator for whatever it was. This was after the problem had been identified and was being corrected. What a putz.

Apparently that’s a job requirement for Iowa coaches.

A great win.
I am confused about the rules our player is driven into the stanchion on a break . No foul is called player is hurt play continues 5 on 4.
Mcafferty has arm problem officials stop game. No Iowa time out.
Later Iowa player has ankle problem with live ball official stops game.
Is there a difference in ruling on what injured player is on court?
Also Big Ten announcers were terrible

On your last point that Andy Katz is abysmal. First time I have watched a game with him commentating. Hopefully the last.

The officials probably didn't realize a PSU player was hurt because the fans weren't booing, like they do in Iowa.
 
I don't know how in-depth any of you watch the games but I saw at least one time last night just under the 10-minute mark in the second half where Harrar grabbed the rebound and quickly flipped it to lee as he was falling out of bounds. I looked in the play-by-play and Lee was given credit for the rebound. There was another spot earlier in the game when harrar got a rebound and was fouled, again not given credit for the rebound. It's happened quite a few times throughout the season. I realize he's probably not going to average double-figures in rebounds as the year goes on but off the top of my head I can count at least 12 that he's not been given credit for so far this year, many of them at home games. You would think our official scorer would do a better job of that when you regularly see other team's official scorers being very liberal with their definitions of something like an assist or steal.

'I occasional ran the clock for my kids grade school BB league. it sucked, I sucked. I would never ever want to run the clock in college or pro games especially now when they have instant replay and officals are adding 0.4 second on to the clock.

Was very happy for the team and coach to get that big win! They have to be one of the toughest average teams to play when at HV. There is no quit in this team. That bodes well for the future. And I agree first time I heard Katz announce. Way more annoying than his pregame and halftime shows. He was drooling over how great mcry is and how wonderful it is to have his sons and another set of brothers in the team. At one point he said those 4 could take the court and go against 5 almost anywhere. Wtf

It's not an easy job but they did a terrible job this past game. Almost hurt PSU as they ran an inbounds play out of the timeout but the clock started early and they had to do it again. Some mistakes are understandable. End of game adjustments to add or subtract a couple tenths are no big deal. The ones in the Iowa game can't happen.

I wish he was in Carver last Friday night to bitch at Iowa’s own clock operator trying to screw over Starocci.

I was a GA for a D3 hoops program a long time ago and I could put up with the poor shot/game clock work and bad stats because it was normally football players making $5/hr via work study doing it. But for PSU to have issues regularly is an problem. With regard to the stat issue I brought up, it stinks when your 'official' stat keeper regularly misses things like a rebound you had control of before being fouled or using their discretion to call something an assist or not. The assist rules for the NCAA are ridiculous by the way if any of you ever wanted to look them up.

There were some obvious glitches. But to be routinely adding tenths of a second on??? That is BS, that's down to human reaction time.

The officials don't stop the game for injury unless it is a dead ball or the it is an offensive player that is injured.
