Im here. So it's game thread time. Rowsey going to beat dwades record tonight.
A special shout out to Mendota who got me two tickets.
I'm also here. Glad to see there are no seats cheaper than the $55 I paid. Let's go Marquette!
The rumor seems to be squashed about student ring. Not sure what happened to the extra 600 reserved seats.

Give it 20 minutes. Have a better idea then.
Nazeer for PSU is officially out due to drug bust.
Cheerleaders here for first NIT game. Dance Squad in stands.
Here too. Say hi, I'm the one wearing gold.

I'm waiving. Can't you wave back? I'm the guy standing up in the gold shirt.
More students for sure.

Can you two just meet up and kiss already?
Let's do this! We just have to score more points than them, hey

Actually, I think MU has to prevent PSU from scoring as much as PSU prevents MU. Key to the game, IMO.
I wish we would have Jamal jump for the tip.
Glad you got in, Rowsey!!
Ouch with these fouls. Rowsey's been hot three times nothing.
They have missed one shot and MU already with three fouls. Can't keep that pace.
Need to tighten up the D.
Jamal
Lamar needs a Theo elbow to the nose.
Sam is like a one legged dude out there
These refs are horrible!
Where did we learn D, from Wojo?

Completely random. They call the guy for slightly touching Cain's hands then swallow their whistles when Rowsey is physically getting bounced around.
NIT needs new refs. Good lord

The Big Easter is the worst...totally botched that last out of bounce call on same. Off PSU and not close.
The refs aren't bad until sultan says they are bad.
There's no way that was out off us, was it?!?
Two refs closest to the ball had no idea who it went off of.
Four fouls in abit over two minutes, my goodness. PSU in bonus already.
Sam needs to hit something, anything. Can't play defense because he's hobbled and Lamar went nuts.
Sacar was awesome against Carr, but of course he has foul problems.
And the ref talk starts......😎. They missed that one.
And a crap goal tend call. Another miss. Out of cylinder.
Wtf!?!
It's hard to watch officiating this bad.
Refs blow. PSU shoving and pushing all over.
That goaltend was a freaking joke
Way too many turns.
That wasn't an and 1 for Rowsey?
Who the hell is on Stevens?
NIT officiating. Penn State doing the bigger, more physical guard thing.
Quote from: mileskishnish72 on March 20, 2018, 06:33:53 PM

True. And the announcers are terrible.
PSU longer, more athletic, bigger
Down three, then Elliott on Carr not a good thing, not good. Carr schools him twice and now up 7.
Uninspiring half.
We look sluggish.
Crowd is trying help, but silenced as soon as we have the inevitable defensive breakdown.
And yes, refs are doing their best 3 stooges imitation
I wish someone would turn on the announcers' Mike's.
Sam looks like he's getting abused, he just isn't moving well. The refs blow. I'm expecting Wojo to go tell the refs to kiss him, if we're gonna get fuc&ed, at least kiss me.
PSU is getting way too many easy baskets in the paint. Need to slow that down and hope the calls even out. Andy is getting pushed around every time he sees the ball and no calls.

Jersey Mike's?
PSU shooting 65%, not gonna win with that.
Heldt, Sacar and Cain each with two fouls. MU 9 fouls PSU 7. Those darn refs.
Theo killed MU with four turnovers and a missed layup. He was denied that put back, but otherwise not good. Heldt will play more if he remains foul free.

I don't think the refs have been one-sided, just uniformly awful.
PSU didn't miss much. They ran the iso especially on our frosh and Sam. Make adjustments (we have been way late on our doubles) and cool them off.
Refs horrid. Two big blown possession calls on the out of bounds and goal tend.
Need Markus and Sam to get some miracle cures at half. Dragging. Refs letting the perimeter hands game on PSU go (so much for point of emphasis).

Exactly
Need to let our good offensive guys make plays. Stop making dumb decisions on offense. Easy.
Struggling with their length. They can switch defensively and take advantage of our guards defensively. We've had these problems before.

Exactly, refs are terrible for every MU game. Theo's turnovers and missed one footer is why lead is seven, not two. Glad Sam made that shot, but need to somewhat contain Lamar and hope Carr doesn't go off.
Wouldn't mind seeing some more zone
Have to make stops. Period.
Wojo needs to go zone for the rest of this half, no matter what.
Even though they're dominating the zone and playing perfect offense against it.
I like the M2N offense better than the throw-it-hard-to-Theo offense.
Let's get it.
So, serious question, we're in the 4th year of Wojo at the helm...
When is he finally gonna win 3 in a row in the NIT?
#makeMUconsistentintheNITagain
Zone or man we are simply a horrible defensive team, absolutely horrible. With that said first half if we touch them its a foul meanwhile they were bumping the hell out of us. Theos "goaltending " was two feet out of the basket!!
Is Penn state good or are we making them look good?

When we put Harry in...
A single defensive stop would be nice. Now sh!t call on Theo
Well, I could certainly read Wojo's lips there
Not our night
Three outcomes every time down they make it, we foul them or the offensive rebound it. Horrible ball awareness, just a hirrible defensive team, its sad
We needed that Rowsey shot.

Looking at his right ear. It's purple, ready to pop.
Sounds to me that NIT wants a local east coast team playing at the garden. Business is business.

Ended quick, missed layup by Elliott (third one footer by MU) and another PSU three. Defense, oh boy.

its four hours by car from Happy Valley to NYC.

Defense is something that is foreign to this team.
Nice pass Anim
Quote from: Jay Bee on March 20, 2018, 07:26:26 PM
Shep just dropped the bomb. nh
Yep. Greg's has to dunk that. Five point swing.
At this point just let Rowley shoot all remaining shots for the record. Not our night.
Dino Gaudio announcing. Weren't there rumors of him being an assistant for Wojo?

I know your birthday, but really? Wade is greatest player in school history and you are hoping Rowsey can steal the record? If we win, I'm in, otherwise let the record remain where it belongs.
OR% tonight: PSU 55.0%, but #mubb at a healthy 45.8%. 10 turnovers apiece. This game - as usual - is about eFG%. PSU 63-51 after 3 Q's. PSU 61.6% eFG%; #mubb 52.3%.
Penn State...on our homefloor????????Puhleeze......No effing excuses....un...effing...acceptable.
Out manned tonight.
*Belichick voice* we're onto Marquette Madness
No loose balls, no loose rebounds, and some brutal passes.
Markus keeps on driving inside for shot and not working too well.
BTW, MU 13 fouls, PSU 12. Both teams have 10 turnovers.
Just start bombing threes and pray.

You act like we're playing the little sisters of the poor. Calm yourself
Howard rather bad tonight
I'm in Italy listening, "it sounds to me" the fix is in.
BTW where are the refs. from? Big East, Big, ACC, Metro? Are they mid major refs?
Theos hustling his ass off. Wish others were too
There......Markus did it again, drove and blocked.
ESPN just said Hauser is having surgery after the season.... News to me.... Anyone know? Would assume hip but they said leg.

4 turnovers ... second quarter hurt. ouch.
That may be it, Lamar would have looked good in MU uniform. Believe we were a runner up.
Hope Morrow is as good as advertised, he will be needed.
What about Howard? He looks dinged up.
Quote from: Jay Bee on March 20, 2018, 07:42:37 PM

One was a great put back called as goal tend no?
Not dead yet... But the paddles are on
Lot of time left. Not over just yet.
Turns...smh
Throwing it away twice after a stop prob dooms us.
Shot of Wojo after another to rolling his eyes and mouthing "wtf?" Same reaction here.
PSU tired and we keep giving the ball back
Momentum really swinging ... let's foul out Carr
We can do this!
PSU is tired
PSU is playing not to lose. Fine by me.
Rowsey could break the scoring record with these free throws.
Is Cain insane?
The defense is soo pathetic the just keep running the same play
Quote from: Dr. Blackheart on March 20, 2018, 07:59:44 PM
We had one to give so smart move.
Think he was referring to the goaltend that would have clanked off the bottom of the rim...
Embarrassing defense
OMG, two back door dunks, how does that happen. Oh well, Loserville would have been a very difficult game anyway.
PSU just has an overall size/strength advantage. MU has showed well today regardless!
Wojo: Call the Davidson set down 4 with 11 to go!
I will surely miss Rowsey...I hope the Bucks sign him!
