I didn't like the Penn State timeout., Wish they had just played it out. They had Purdue on the run.

I think Coach wanted to set up our shot rather than rushing down and forcing something. After the timeout you know exactly how much time you have and you can draw up a play for your preferred shooter(s).

One way closes the door, and yes I know for now but that's the important distinction. The other way fosters more and more speculation, especially when he continued with the obfuscation for months.
It in no way closes the door.

Looking like a 9 seed...will be very tough to get more than 1 win next week as game 2 will lbe vs a 1 seed like Kansas..

But team is fun to watch and never know! Hit some 3's and they got a punchers chance against anyone.

As a PSU buddy asked last night in our group text, who had Rose Bowl win and championship game of the B1G BB tourney on their Bingo card?
Exactly.
And, I’ll admit, I had lost a lot of hope on this team with the Rutgers meltdown. I was wrong.

Thoughts on A&M? I know nothing about them.

ugly match-up for PSU. TAMU played really well during the season, and I believe got to the SEC Tourney Championship game (which they lost).

PSU's inconsistent play this season, and then their great run late in the season, looks to have made things a challenge for the tournament to figure out how to seed them.

They supposedly seed the teams based on current performance. Underrated.

Of course, but that doesn't mean that the BTN doesn't suck when it comes to production quality, which is my point. I'd hazard a guess that Big Ten fans would watch the BTN if the telecasts were in black-and-white and grainy.
Well, if BTN is the only place to watch PSU sports that's what you watch, regardless of the suckiness of it. Should we watch SEC for the production values?

It was obvious the seedings occurred before the weekend results. Texas A&M plays 3 guards and 2 forwards 6-8 and 6-9. Both average under 10 pts a game. Have to have the shootin shoes on!

Couple of things:

Had to listen to radio. Purdue announcers.

1. Purdue announcers said they missed a travel on previous Purdue sequence. Cost us a possession down 1.

2. Purdue announcers said Purdue getting most of calls all day (should surprise no one in a Big10 contest).

3. Agree that Shrews wanted to draw up a play to get a clean look. Purdue knows Shrews as a disciple of Brad Stevens - the very best in the business and suggested that is why the TO was called. The tip by Edey on the inbound disrupted the play.

If you don’t call TO, Edey can’t tip the ball! No way I would have called a TO. Game 35, need a two to tie, three to win, after a missed FT, have practiced that situation by now at least 200 times… never would have called TO, and I bet the board I would have gotten Funk the ball!

So write a letter to Francois McGillicuddy and tell him you wouldn't mind if the BTN reverted to black and white.

Does anyone know if we are playing in Session 1 (early games) or Session 2 (late games) on the 16th?

Did not say I agreed with calling tbe TO…just trying to paint the picture of why he did.

Shrews is the man…if we can sign him, good times are ahead…even better than today.

I understand…was a coach for 25 years…I just would have not called TO… Shrew has a different take. What makes the game great. Of course he is making a million and I am drinking Budweiser!

BTN blows! Last weeks promo for the wrestling championships showed Roman Bravo-Young for about 3 seconds. That was it! The promo did not feature any other PSU wrestler. Freaking joke…
Meh. In the eyes of the scUM/NW-controlled BTN, PSU will always be toxic.
