Very dominant and game pretty much over. Need to hit these wide open 3s.

Illinois though plays the near basket and 3 pt shots. Glad to see PSU loves contested 2pt shots.

Second one looked like a 2 for 1

Just wish he’d eliminate that dribble up and shoot from his playlist. He’s better attacking and hitting rhythm shots off a pick or pass, imo.

Makes me wanna vomit watching our men jack up 25- 3pt shots each half. I can't stand them not taking 15 footers and at the rim! It is not and will not play against best teams in March. We will be lucky to hit 35% 10x for entire year. Wi t h all of our talent it should be 60 to 20 right now, but every player shot from 30 feet out for the most part. Hey, Morez awesome job at rim!

Great first half. Defense was great forcing Penn State to take tough 2s and some of which were long 2s. Liking how we have rebound as well. Ben is crashing the board. If we can get more 3s made from everybody else and continue playing defense like that we'll get the dub.

Second half? Keep your foot on the damn pedal!

Normally, I'd complain about too many three-point attempts, but a lot of them have been within the flow of the game and great looks--can't pass those shots up.

Take the ball to the whole, WR, although your three-point shot looks better with more touch, than before.

We really get anything we want on offense. I don’t really remember any tough shots we were forced into aside from the Tre 3 in which he was fouled. We take some dumb rushed shots sometimes, but usually always great looks.

What can I say about the defense. It has been superb. Drop coverage has been perfect, our close outs have been off the charts(your forgiven Will), and they are only getting 1 shot.

We sometimes forget Will Riley should be a HS senior right now. He had a big night against EIU and we thought that would be every night. Kylan went to Arizona early and struggled, many early entrants struggle at times when everyone is stronger and more experienced.

Hard to believe what Brad and his AC’s have put together here. It’s really amazing to see how quickly they are turning into a powerhouse team. I mean, KJ isn’t even out there…my goodness, this could be a very fun ‘25.
