Yes but that may not guarantee a win with the way we play defense.
The way we slack on Rice makes us look like a bunch of players who started playing last week. Show some maturity on defense, dude is hot, made 6 treys last game.
Going to give up > 80 again unless something changes. Thought we made progress on D out west?
We can’t stop anyone on a drive. Then we double team and give up an open three. Starts with better defense out top which we don’t have.
I know he’s not shooting a high %, but I get the feeling when Green is used to the B1G speed, he’ll be quite an offensive threat.
Jake West looks way more comfortable than I’d expect for a FR.
Observations from someone who has not seen more than probably 4 to 5 games this year.

Seems like every single play for Penn State is one of their players driving to the basket for an easy shot
Just awful defense. So disappointing. Reid is obviously quick enough to move his feet and stay in front of people but he just doesn’t. All about effort.
Singleton almost a double double in the first half.
Who’s got the +\- on West vs Reid? We are really bad when Jake is on the bench.
Rotation has come together, so I think we have a puncher’s chance at one upset at least in the next two weeks. It is not who I expected and I feel bad for Mullins because he seems to work his tail off every night, but this team is gelling more in January. We will need Page to contribute more to claw back some wins.
Nick, Tre, Gelo and West all had excellent game, and we didn't even need a big man. PSU lost to Illanoy last time out by 6. I'll take it!
