Pike is going to rip them a new one. I expect them to come out playing with passion in the 2nd half.
Totally agree. Looked like it took everything he had to not throw a nutty seeing how they are playing.

5 points at the half with how terrible we played is fine. We are right in this game. Might have to place a bet on the second half

They got nothing from Stevens expect a big second half from him. Watkins has dominated inside.

We played about as bad as we can for a good part of the half. Have to wake up.

Ah i think that possession at 27-26 could have been handled better

I will take 33-28

But Stevens sat so his return will be an issue

Still with how poorly the offesnse looked to be down only 5 isnt bad

PSU did a fantastic job of shutting down the crowd but last couple of minutes woke us up

We need a stop and a bucket to start the 2nd half. The crowd will will this team to victory tonight

5 point swing. We can win this as 1st half about as bad as could be. 9 for 29 and 0 for 5 from 3.

Stevens 0 and down 5 is a problem
I was just thinking that checking the box score. Just like we are saying we are right in this and played so poorly PSU can point to that. Watkins can't keep up that pace would be the counter

We played a little better the last 7 minutes and finally made some shots. Our FTs are actually helping us. When we miss so many shots early, we really look out of sync and some of our non-athleticism shows up. Too many easy baskets that we missed so badly. Lets correct the mistakes this half.

Rutgers 10-11 at line might be our best strategy to win

Young our leading rebounder at 4 is an issue. Myles just with 2 and overall down 23-17

With Watkins dominating and you the coach...wasn't there an opportunity to play 2 of Shaw, douc, and miles at the same time?
Put Douc in for defense and let miles go loose?
Don't see the adjustments to take out the big guy. 16 of 33 pts.

We are screaming our asses off! It’s loud in here. Missing chippies, they gotta drive and dish more, it works! That will open up shots. Paul looks good. Kwasi, not so much. Myles getting pushed around
