I like what Coach said with the new starting lineup tonight. Nick coming off the bench has always been a big boost. After the first couple minutes of nonstop turnovers from each team, they really got into a good flow on offense and were able to contest way more shots than they have lately

Kern is often a liability in spite of his athleticism. Dunn is a better option to start. Kern is a change of pace off the bench.
It looks like PSU will finally win a game tonight.
Yea, Kern is definitely more effective as the energy guy off the bench vs playing 30+ minutes as he's done over the past month and a half.
Don't understand not even getting Goodman a few minutes at the end in a 20 point win...and keeping Ace out there until the final whistle.
Penn State men’s basketball defeats Nebraska, snaps seven-game losing streak
Penn State entered the Bryce Jordan Center on Wednesday with its back against the wall.
Right at the 16 minute mark of the second half Nebraska had cut it to 16 and had the ball. The coaches son missed the deep three and Penn State went down and Dunn through an a line drive through from the top of the key. That six point swing was huge. If they had made the three to cut it to 13 Penn State would’ve needed a timeout as they would’ve already cut 10 points off the lead in four minutes.
Agree that the freshman should’ve had a few more minutes each in this game, especially once we got to the under four timeout. At that point unless you turn the ball over repeatedly, the other team’s only going to get 5 to 6 possessions.

Yea…it was another spot where Rhoades really let them play through it. I would have called a TO when it was cut to 18.
‘We made them uncomfortable’ | Men’s basketball presses often in win over Nebraska
Due to depth issues, coach Mike Rhoades has been hesitant to break out his patented full-court man-to-man press defensive scheme. However, after a tip-in layup on the game’s first possession,

What the hell are we doing winning? And two in a row? For f*ck’s sake.

Thought we showed really good defensive intensity yesterday for all 40 minutes. Rhoades talked about it postgame, but less overplaying passing lanes to sell out for turnovers, and more of an emphasis on staying between your man and the basket.
Konan is healthier, Ace looking more spry every game, and did just enough offensively to pull it out.
Another DNP-CD for Goodman. Disappointing.

“Do you believe in miracles? Yes!” said Al Michaels as time expired in Team USA's win over the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics.
Forgetting that Konan is on the floor when he had 9 of your first 15 points really hurts too.
Konan has been good. My only complaint is when he tries to shoot a 3.
We needed Ace's three 3s. He needs to get Hick's some shots in the second half.
Indy has 14 pts off turnovers.
Ballo killed PSU last time. Fortunately Konan doesn't have a foul.
I think we'll need 10 from Dunn in the second half.
He definitely shouldn’t be shooting threes. Dunn has started the half with four, so he may get you that 10.
Hicks doesn't creat his own shots. Ace has to penetrate and kick out.
Right now he's hurting us by fouling Indy perimeter players when they're shooting bonus.
