Anyone know our current winning streak or recent history v O$U? I feel like we've had our way with them in recent years.

Edit Found it. 6-6 since 2017-18

What are Pickett's Draft prospects? Does he translate to the NBA?
This is what NBADraft.net says about him:

Jalen Pickett, Penn State Nittany Lions

If there were any college basketball fans wondering why some player from Penn State was showing up on All-American ballots all year, just look at the week he had. The Nittany Lions needed wins to stay on the bubble and their All-American guard delivered. Pickett scored 41 points against Illinois on Tuesday before posting 32 points, nine rebounds and eight assists against Minnesota to keep Penn State’s postseason hopes alive. He may have worked himself into second-round consideration in the process with his developing three-level scoring and terrific playmaking.

Well, my question about how much those 2 games against lesser Big 10 squads mattered has been answered.

With wins against Minny and OSU, PSU moved up from not even in the last 8 out, to the first team out in Lunardi's latest bracketology. You have to wonder if we can somehow steal 2 of the next 3, if we're in, regardless of the Big Ten tourney performance ... or with 1 win in the tourney.

This is exactly how I see it. We need to win 2 of 3 and at least 1 game in The B1G Tournament.

Seth Lundy ... 0 for 8 in the last 8 minutes, with an embarrassing foul for a 3 pt play to give up the lead.

Good lord ... I didn't realize he was 1 for 16 on the night.

Huge lead at home and you blow it. Just crazy.

Pickett did not attempt a shot in the second half, just dribbled into double teams. That’s on p*** poor coaching

Huh? That’s on Pickett.
He was doubled teamed whenever he had the ball or perhaps you didn’t notice. Coaching has to change the offensive plan if your freaking best scorer can’t attempt a shot!

If he was being double teamed, that means someone is not being covered and as a point guard, he has to find that person. These aren’t middle school kids, they should know enough basketball to know that especially a senior in college who’s a potential all American.

You obviously didn’t watch the game because he did pass the ball to guys who couldn’t hit the side of a barn, hence coaching needs to change the strategy because what they were doing didn’t work at all

I did watch the game just as I watch all the games. No coach is going to win when their best three point shooter goes 0-11 from three point line. And he wasn’t passing to the guy that wasn’t covered, he was passing to the guy right next to him. It’s funny how Shrews looked like a coaching genius when their shots were falling, but he must have forgotten how to coach when they couldn’t make a shot. There’s not much a coach can do if no one can make a shot.

Well, then sit the players that can't hit the side of the barn!

Lundy finished 1 for 16.

Can Caitlyn Clark portal to PSU?

Glad I did not see this mess. Lundy 1-16????? What is wrong with Dread? Playing golf yesterday… buddy was worried about game, I said if PSU can get to 65 they win. I have said before, Rutgers D is best in conference, especially if they are allowed to grab and hold
