I would take playing Kentucky in a 6 - 11 game. Old guys vs young guys. I think we would be a good upset pick

I’m afraid Kentucky is too big, I think they’d throw inside on every play!

If PSU beats NW the day after beating Illinois, PSU is Illinois State Champions....

Currently 3-0 playing in the State of Illinois so far this season!

When the brackets came out I said it was the best we could have possibly hoped for…..Illinois, Northwestern and then anyone but Purdue in the semis since Purdue’s on the other side of the bracket.

This has PSU at the top of the Last 4 Byes, best placing I’ve seen. Paraphrasing: “PSU has safe entry into the Round of 64.” Pitt is the last team in.

Root for Michigan State.

Small world, I was at the doubletree bar last nite(wife and I went to riverdance), looking at the line across the street and trying to figure out who jo koy is??

We tried to get a reservation at the Doubletree lastnight but were told they were fully booked.

Never heard of Jo Koy? He's a top comedian.

 

[LionJim]

Who would think that having your team get into the 64 is such a big freaking deal? I haven’t felt this way about college basketball in a long time.

Its academic now (MSU lost), but I hope Pitt gets in and we meet them in the 1st or 2nd round.

PSU is a likely 11th seed, would play #6 seed. Next game would be against #3 or #14. Pitt, if they get in, would be seeded #12.

You are likely right but I saw one site where Pitt was seeded lower.

Ugly 1st 9 minutes on both sides.
6-6.

That is more than ugly, that is fugly!

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

The NW assistant coach needs a Bro!!

 

[fairgambit]

7:49 left in half. We lead 11-10. Really! Hard to watch.

 

[johnmpsu]

Tired legs for PSU? What's NW excuse?

 

[fairgambit]

That was awful. Down 26-25 at half.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Gritty...and fugly!

Just win baby. I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Strong play by Njie!

 

[LionsAndBears]

Njie playing like a man possessed!

He has hands like ping pong paddles.

Agreed, but this is so bad.....

 

[psu0408]

5 NW fouls in the first 4 min of the 2nd half. PSU needs to make them pay at the line

 

[LionsAndBears]

If that was a shooting foul on Pickett it should've been goal tending for hitting the ball through the rim!!

 

[fairgambit]

That is more than ugly, that is fugly!

That's it. I cant watch this. I hope we win but playing this badly I expect a loss. I wont be here to see it. Goodnight.

 

[Psu00]

Way too many turnovers so far. They have almost as many turnovers as shots made.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

We are making up for it by not rebounding!

[Bkmtnittany1]

Missed free throws…ugh!

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Turnovers and free throws are killing PSU tonight!

 

[LionJim]
