Penn State basketball: Three takeaways from lopsided loss to UMass

Our lack of timeouts made me wonder if Shrewsberry wanted us to play through adversity and isn’t as concerned with wins and losses at this point.
I think we are switching way too easily and ending up with mismatches over the first two games…guys aren’t fighting through screens and when we aren’t switching, are way too often going under them. Just leading to way too many good looks from the outside.
One positive…I think we scored our first two layups on BLOB plays that I’ve seen since the Ed era tonight.

Providence just beat Wisconsin at Wisconsin by 5. I’m sure the Badgers were counting on this as an easy win. Stuff happens at this time of year especially when one team is making 3 pointers and the other isn’t.
We were giving up easy 3 point looks and Buttrick and the others made us pay. This can’t happen if you want to win. The defensive effort wasn’t there, except for UMass.

I don't know why anybody would take Providence as an easy win. They've had a decent basketball program for a long time.
Giving up already? Shrews is a highly pedigreed coach. His players (outside some lower level transfers) are still in high school. Sheesh.
Not exactly a stellar outing. UMass hit a lot of 3's,including from their "big man". That's a tough thing to guard but Harrar is going to need to be able to get out there and disrupt the shot.
Still hoping we get more from Dread, he again wasn't much of a factor.
Buttrick looked pretty decent last night, on D, getting rebounds, hitting 3's, going to the hoop hard, etc. Where the heck was that the last couple seasons??

Understand, and I'm going to give him a chance, but my point is we've seen this act for decades now. Last night was embarrassing
We have two transfers on the sideline- one wearing a boot on his foot and the other dealing with NCAA transfer clearance. Hopefully both are playing by the time we are into the B10 schedule. They can help a lot.
