We're about to be all alone in 13 th place in the big 10. That ain't good by the way.

For you you gsters, we used to have a basketball program. The conversation was usually would we get a 3,4, ot a 5 seed, with an occassional 1 or 2 seed sprinkled in. Now it's a question of will get an NIT invite. Sad!

New thing at the game is the "oblivious camera". Showing all the fans reading obits on their phone instead of actually watching the dead.

In case any is curious, efficiency scores:
TJL at 14
Finke 7
Hill 6
Black 5
JCL and Abrams 4
Nichols 2
Morgan 0

Nichols with his lowest in games, Morgan his worst in forever. JCL and Abrams the usual. Hill a little low, Black the usual. TJL is really coming on.

Well, I guess considering the juggernaut that traditionally is Penn St., what with all their five star one and done's, keeping it under 20 points is a moral victory.

I will never understand Coach Groce's substitution patterns. TJL gets an and one, almost a steal, the crowd is giving him a standing O and Groce subs him out.

It makes absolutely zero sense to me.

TJL our only decent player on the floor. Quick John, take him out!

You just watch, and I'll be waiting for the "you were right". lol

Kathy, I have to say I agree with you on this one. JW has a lot better view of things from his vantage point that the rest of us to make an evaluation of what the real issues are with the team this year. Given that Groce is a good representative for the school, an extremely hard worker, and still doesn't seem to have lost the team (like his predecessor at the end). I could still see him giving JG another year to make things work - wouldn't be a popular decision, but JW will only jump from the frying pan of fan discontent if he thinks it will not be into the fire of a difficult coaching search.

Here is the part of the game where we remember how to play basketball, but run out of energy before we are able to make it really exciting.

Down by 20 points at home at halftime to freaking Penn State? I know we're terrible but come on.

I'm going to a hockey game in Wilkes-Barre tonight. I want to wear Orange.

Why hasn't anyone joined me in the Coaching Carousel thread? What's going on?

Glad I'm still watching it, defensive pressure looks good.
