With 5 minutes to go Wisconsin had 5 points ... they scored 6 pointed in the last two minutes.

This is one UGLY game so far ... slow by even Wisconsin standards (Wisconsin is ranked #345 of 345 in game tempo)

Holy Shiit! If I had to watch that every game I'd carve my eyes out!

Here are the lines at half;

Penn State - FG 8 of 24 = .333 3FG 2 of 7 = .286 FT 2-2
Wisconsin - FG 7 of 24 = .292 3FG 1 of 11 = .091 FT 1-2

Really?? Ugh!

It is much more exciting to crawl up the court, drain time off the shot clock, throw up a brick, crawl up the floor, take time off the clock and throw up a brick. Much more palitable on the eyes.

And on other broadcasts nationally, the announcers are saying that "at the under 4 Time Out of the 1st half, the score is PSU 32 UW 30. Oh, wait, what? Under 4 of the 2nd half? You can't be serious."

Is a 4 point lead insurmountable in this game?

This is why players like Tokoto (no matter how much they like Bo) won't go to UW. JP might give the Badgers lip service about finishing 2nd in an 8 horse field, but in a match race against any of the 7 finalists (and against scores of schools that didn't make his final list) Wisconsin is second (ie, last) every time.

Well, that game was bad and slow enough to push Wisconsin down to end conference play as the slowest team in basketball, and moved Penn St. down to 340.

I wonder why, on a night in which they were so clearly off, Bo stood by watching as Taylor and Leuer tossed up 37 of the team's 51 shots (making just 12 of them, including 1-for-13 on threes).
I suppose at some level you've got to dance with the girl that brung you, but you would think he would have tried to get the other players more involved.

The Gasser/Nankavil/Bruesewitz combo averaged more than 15 attempts per game during the regular season. Last night, when Taylor and Leuer couldn't hit anything, those three took just eight shots. Just seemed odd that Bo didn't do more to get the rest of lineup more involved when the Taylor and Leuer show was bombing.
