Game thread for Penn State at Northwestern

The mandatory lockdown of students is so dumb if they’re still going to have these games and have general public come. No band, no students, and our normal fanbase is a recipe for a pathetic stadium.
They did a nice job of moving people from the top down low tonight.As they introduce the team, it’s pretty empty, but my view is great
I don't like the feel of this game so far. We are 6-12 from 3 and they are 3-12 and we are only up 3.
Nance dunk try was a chance to change the momentum toward us. How did he miss?
Harrar is a good player.
Rebounding is terrible but on the bright side, zero bad shots so far from our starting guards tonight.
Boo seems generally locked in tonight, which is good. Audige on the other hand is probably just not pushing things too hard because of his back spasms.
I’m trying to keep track of it. I have 1 for Buie, none for Audige.
We’d be up by 10 if we were not being killed on the boards.
Appears CC wants Nance on Harrar as he sat him down as Harrar went to the bench
We're counting a decent midrange look from our best one-on-one player as a "bad shot" now?
I thought they both were fine this half. Our defensive rebounding, on the other hand...
Except for MSU, we’ve done very well in the second half. Having a 5 point lead bodes well, especially since we are playing so many guys.
I don’t think he scored a single time on Young. I thInk Collins recognized that’s our best matchup defensively when he left Young there for the end of the half
By his standards, no it wasn’t a bad shot. I agree both were fine this half, and I’m happy to see it. Any half with one bad choice is fine with me.
Shot selection was a topic after the last game. I was pretty pleased with the shot selection in the first half. Buie threw up a bomb that he fortunately nailed and the freshman #13 forced a shot in the lane...but, other than that, I didn't mind too many of our shots. Gotta make the easy ones, but that's basketball. Defensive rebounding, on the other hand, was a problem. Overall, it's an entertaining game. Both teams playing pretty well.
Along with good shot selection, the fact that we turned it over only twice meant some pretty useful possessions. If we’d rebounded a little better our lead would be a lot bigger.
Audige is clearly not healthy. He would have taken that fastbreak to the basket instead of pulling up tenderly for a 3. Also a step slow on defense.
