58-30..this is insane....this is team that could finish 11th or 12th but playing well enough to reach the finals of the Big East tourney

and a cautionary tale that moving into the top 8 is going to be a bear next year

Wow. It’s one of those games where one team has everything single thing going their way and the others heads are completely somewhere else. MD looks really really bad.

Maryland looks like they assumed this was a win without being ready to earn it. Totally outhustled for the first 30 minutes of the game. They are waking up but I don't think there is enough time to come all the way back.

All three teams we have left have been hot and cold this year. I give us a chance in all three, mainly based on the way we’ve played more recently.

I would pick PSU to beat both Wisky and IL at this point, based on they way they’re playing, so we may have to beat them just to have a tie-breaker over them.

Is there a Big Ten coach getting less out of his talent than Mark Turgeon? They have more than their share of head-scratching performances.

In his defense he has one of the youngest teams in the country, albeit talented

If Turgeon did not have his team believing PSU is legit and as hot a team there is in the league he is an idiot.

Geezus, PSU has won 3 in a row and 5 out of 7 I think. And these aren’t flukey wins —they are legit playing really well. And Lamar Stevens has become an automatic 20+ go-to guy.

It’s gonna be a war next week.

I’m not able to watch. Are the Terps a no show or is PSU just playing that well? Or both?

It was both. Plus, Turgeon is a great recruiter, but a terrible game coach. MD just chucked up errant 3’s all game.

Penn State hammering them early.

That is the kind of loss that could cost a Maryland basketball coach his job. Losing to Penn State in basketball is unacceptable to the Maryland fan base.

One Maryland fan called me tonight and call the situation "a catastrophe."

Our team wouldn't perform like Maryland did tonight. I have no doubt. Pikiell coaches.. He doesn't just let the guys out there and "do their own thing" or whatever Marylands strategy is

That was a lifetime ago compared to the way Pen St has been playing on late

The way Penn state has been playing, and the way other teams they have been facing are playing.

Penn State's coach is motivated to save his job. He is also making sure his team knows that they can upset other team's tournament hope.

Rutgers has beat them once. Rutgers has also gotten better.

Penn State is a bad match up right now because they are scoring at a high level and have multiple scoring threats.which makes them difficult to defend.

Been watching Big Ten basketball for 6 years now, starting the season after we were announced however, in the AAC. It's the most competitive top to bottom with the most talent that I've watched with this Conference. Every night is a rock fight with many great games. I can't wait for the B1G Tournament in 2 weeks.

This is why going even 1-2 down the stretch will be tough

exactly my thought. I love how a lot of people assume 2-1 and will be disaointed if we don't . We can EASILY lose all three games and the season is just as succesful . We are making progress and good players coming and Pike should be able to continue the get better players...

I still love our chances at home against PSU, if they were playing like they are at this time and were away i wouldn't comment.

GO RU!

It’s all mentality right now. If our players go in saying “o it won’t be easy now, penn state is really good now, if we win it’s gonna be a close game” then they will accept being in a close game. We have to still go in there planning to win going away and just play super hard every possession and not accept being up 4 or 6 as adequate. Go in with the mindset of blowout and I think we can really win one by 10
