Pickett and Lundy are the only two PSU players who can create their own shot. Pickett is the only one who can create shots for others. Purdue did a great job stopping Pickett from backing his defender down in the paint which limited his ability to create good looks for Funk & Dread.Penn State has the type of team who can beat anyone and lose to anyon on any given night. Comes down to shooting 3's, they have 5-6 legit 3 point shooters who can go on a heater an change any game, plus with Picketts ability to get what he wants seemingly against anyone they can be tought, but in the 2nd half last night NO ONE could hit anything and Purdue pulled away. Winter, Dread, Lundy all had good looks early in the 2nd half and all missed, PSU needs those shots to fall to have a shot since they have no Bigs to compelte inside.
I also think Dread's offense has been impacted by having to lean on Edey and Dickenson on defense. That has to take a lot out of him.
