Disappointing, but accept it for what it is, and what it generally has always been and probably will always be. This.... is Penn State basketball. It will be easier on you.

It may be the most disappointing collapse by any Penn State team, in any sport, in my memory. Of course, I'm old and can't remember much past yesterday, but can anyone recall a bigger debacle?
Yeah, but we beat Bucknell at the Armory in the second and final game of the season. 10-7.
The Armory remains Penn State’s best home court winning percentage which has dropped each time we moved to a bigger arena. We just need to need to get some new rims and move to the IM Building permanently
I don’t know if I have the mental energy to even watch the game tonight. We suck on the road and what is worse is that the shooting last game was also horrendous. Teams know how to take Pickett out and we have no real response. Relying on the 3’s is our Damocles sword.

You need to have a talk with my old dogs who need to be up early to pee, in fact so do I!!Posted at 5:30 am EST ... me thinks you're more concerned as to whether you can stay awake for a game that doesn't start until 9 pm EST.
They haven't done that at the end of this season (or the last of the last 10 seasons), how do you think that's going to change tonight?
I mean, I wish . . .
Northwestern has not played well the last two games so there’s always a chance!
Wynter with the 3, puts PSU up 68-65, with 0.7 sec left. TO NW.
Final: 68-65, OT, PSU wins over NW
It may take two. But, what could have been had they not blown the lead against Rutgers.
Never in doubt!
March Madness begins with BOTH PSU BB teams winning on the same day.
The end of civilization is near…..very near!

Good lord. I felt like such a fool for tuning in again, with some hope, after last game's debacle. And then there were stretches where my doubt was reaffirmed. But they kept coming back. And then letting me down. And when OT started off on a down note, I was so pissed, because I knew they were headed to an "OT blowout." And here they are, with a last second victory to keep me invested.
How will they let me down next game? And why am I still going to watch it, with some hope, but waiting for the ax to fall, until they're up 30 with 10 seconds left? And even when they're up 30 with 10 seconds left, it leaves my mind racing with "is it possible to blow a 30 point lead in 10 seconds" thoughts.

You shut right the hell up. The first rule of PSU basketball is never talk about the Feb 26, 2023 Rutgers game. Finkle is Lundy. Lundy is Finkle.
I really nailed that one! But in he first 7 minutes of the game it looked like we were gonna lose by 25!

Fantastic to be able to pull off a huge road win despite your top scorer only having 7 for the game.
Much differerent 2nd half than the Rutgers game

Fierce defense in OT (I just now caught the replay on BTN), a lot of missed shots from in close for both teams. Typical overtime game for evenly matched teams.

Other than PSU holding for the final shot (though technically, NW had the final shot as they inbound the ball with 0.7 sec left), neither team seemed to slow things down in OT. Both teams missed shots, PSU played good D and rebounded, etc.
The dominoes continue to fall in our direction. Of course, it's all meaningless if we don't beat Maryland on Sunday.
