Great grit to come back from 10 pts in the 2nd. Harrar started off great, getting the first 6 pts for the team.

I'm starting to get optimistic about this team, like thinking they'd have a shot at (gulp!) the tournament with the way they played against IU and Northwestern, with Lee up front to help Harrar on the glass and Pickett and Lundy taking the big shots. Someone please bring me back to reality...

I dont know if they can win enough conference games to get in but they have proven to be competitive in the league while having little depth.

Seeing how we match up with Purdue on Saturday might bring you back to reality…

We didn’t do anything to help ourselves in the non-conference, and the Big Ten is loaded. Nebraska at home will be the only game the rest of the way where we’ll be favored by more than a few points, and we might be underdogs on 14 of our 18 remaining games.
Something like 14-14 (9-11) would be about our ceiling I’d think, and that’s still a few wins away from what we’d need.

PSU outrebounded NW 36 to 26. That kind of stat should keep us in most games.
The 3 bigs had...
Harrar 9 pts/8 Reb
Lee 8 pts/7 Reb
White 1 pt/7 Reb

Harrar finally has some real help on the boards. Could be an exciting season if these guys start to gel more and more each week.
