[RU_DIO]

Nice shot by Harper Jr. to get it started.

 

[MadRU]

Early Todd Frazier sighting

 

[itsRtime]

The ****** white haired ref just came out

 

[Knightmoves]

Early Todd Frazier sighting

Great to hear that Todd is back at the rac. Have met him there a few times. Great guy.

 

[czxqa]

The ****** white haired ref just came out

Ah, crap. Someone run down there and push him down the stairs.

 

[Caliknight]

The ****** white haired ref just came out

Lol.

 

[JQRU91]

Our sophomores need to show up and play big boy basketball tonight.

 

[RUHouston]

Our sophomores need to show up and play big boy basketball tonight.

The RU SuperSophs!

 

[itsRtime]

Lol.

And immediately bro hugged 3 Penn St players we're doomed

 

[JQRU91]

The RU SuperSophs!

Need them to take that next step. Now would be a good time.

 

[bac2therac]

F penn state cheers!

 

[czxqa]

 

[czxqa]

Buttrick, I guess they said may not be playing for Penn State they just said. Not sure yet.

 

[HPNJRUfan]

Let's do this! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR69

 

[HPNJRUfan]

The ****** white haired ref just came out

Might be fighting the refs all night,looked at us in 109 during the for chant

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Wake up McConnell

 

[koleszar]

WTF are we doing with all these turnovers already. 2 mins. in and not a shot on basket

 

[bac2therac]

4 turnovers...miss Geo

 

[BillyC80]

Damn, 3 turnovers and a foul to start.

 

[koleszar]

No way Whitey that's our ball. He's already starting with his bullsh*t calls.

 

[ScarletDave]

4 possessions, 4 turnovers. Bad start

 

[BillyC80]

Our guys are nervous.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Slop mode

 

[BillyC80]

Great move to pin a foul on Watkins.

 

[koleszar]

Wheelers getting a tech. That's a flagrant elbow to the face.

 

[BillyC80]

Ok settling down. Another foul on Wheeler.

 

[bac2therac]

The refs are going to call a tight game...4 fouls on psu..damn we need to hit our freethrows

We haven't faced a defense as good as this yet

Really going to have to scrap for pts and avoid turnovers

Value possessions

 

[bac2therac]

Our guys are nervous.

Too jacked up..just like last years game

 

[koleszar]

Should have been flagrant 2. That's was intentional to the face.

 

[Wolv RU]

Too jacked up..just like last years game

Maybe, but Penn State looks unhinged with some of these fouls.

 

[BillyC80]

Harper 4-4 on FTs. Hope it helps him shoot from the field.

 

[bac2therac]

Oh caleb..we miss geo

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Up 1-5 fouls

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Layups :chairshot:

 

[czxqa]

PSU may have guys fouling out early if they keep this up

 

[bac2therac]

Have to finish at the rim
