2024-25 PSU MBB Thread

[Ludd]

Got up by 5 and tried to take the air out of the ball….could cost us the game.

 

[Ludd]

Please watch Barnhizer and Martinelli.

 

[Ludd]

And of course Barnhizer gets the offensive rebound and put back.

 

[Ludd]

Wow…that was the weirdest ending I’ve seen in years. Penn State pulls it out!

 

[Erial_Lion]

Some really good breaks to pull that one out…take the win and run.

I didn’t think it was a goal tending, but they probably shouldn’t have blown the whistle. We got away with a little shove on defense at the end.

They actually stepped out on that last play after Konan’s shove, so got to run some extra time off too.

Second men’s basketball game in a row where my peacock app stopped working. Problem was this time it stopped working right as Northwestern was inbounding the ball after the review of the goaltending at the end.

I think Bob gave me his peacock account because the cock hasn’t been working well lately.

A foul there wouldn't have been bad because that guy can't shoot FTs.

True, but I’m glad we didn’t find out.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Indiana lost their best player, Malik Reneau, to a knee injury early in tonight’s game. Definitely changes Sunday’s game if he can’t go.

That ball is gonna be preserved forever.

NW got hosed on that. I hate this new mindset officials have with goaltends where they blow the whistle so they can go check it. That’s the only reason the whistle blew. A trained eye could easily see it was a legal block. The rule is even worse when they wait to check it during a timeout 3 mins later and wipe the points off the board. Then, PSU got away with a clear 2 hands/shove. That official should be banished to JUCO ball for that miss.

Who's going to the Palestra Sunday? I'll be there and will be wearing white.

Is 80% clutch, now?

We will be there. Dress light under your winter coat, it’s a sweat box in there.

 

[Erial_Lion]

80% would put you in the top 9 teams in the country (meaning the 98th percentile). That's a pretty good night at the line.

Not the best start vs Indy.

We need Konan to stay out of foul trouble. Goodman gives up 70 lbs to Ballo.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nice to see Goodman playing

 

[bdgan]

PSU 0-8 from 3

Ace & Hicks sitting with 2 fouls. PSU is out of sorts with Baldwin sitting.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Each game I watch, I always see Ace make an assist that's super slick.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Alas, the Eagles game will start shortly, so the 1st half is all I expect to watch of today's MBB game.

 

[bdgan]

PSU got away with Ace & Hicks sitting for so long. 29-29 at half. Dilione is not effective running the point.

Ballo dominated for Indy with 14 pts and 9 rebounds.

PSU needs more from Dunn who was 0-4.

 

[bdgan]

Quick 12-0 run for Indy to start the second half.

Puff hurt

PSU turning the ball over, missed dunk, and several out of control shots.

A late run?

Dilione misses 2 FTs. Konan misses front end of 1-1. Kern misses.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Missed open 3’s and awful free throw shooting, yet still have a chance in last minute

 

[bdgan]

Tough "home game" loss that was winnable. In fact ESPN gave us a 71% chance to win.

Ballo dominated PSU inside with 25 pts and 12 rebounds. I worry that he won't be the only one.

PSU came out flat to start the second half. TOs, missed dunk, and out of control on offense led to a 15 pt deficit. Big comeback effort late but was thwarted by missed FTs.

We could have used Dunn to step up today but he was 0-5. Dilione isn't a PG and it showed when Ace was out.
