I’d be surprised if Ty is back next year.

That would be too close to the 15-17 halftime score in 2009Outside of Tre White and Ben, we've only scored 14 points.
Still two-thirds of what Penn State has
Finally, Brad has Ben playing like a 5th year B1G warrior and Morez gaining experience and confidence. Now get to work on Will and this team has no boundaries.

I put those in the dumb rushed category. He still had clean looks though.

What was the item the ref picked up off the floor that made both Underwood and Loren Tate laugh?
Right, I'm hoping for this since his season averages still look awesome: Leads IL in PPM=Points Per Min, 35% on 3s (same as Ben), 3rd in assists per min behind KJ and Boswell, etc.

Penn State’s soul
I agree about the game being too fast for him. His improvement will begin in stages, and for me, having a smoother stroke is a mini-victory for me because it will lead to more 3-pointers made. Once that happens, his confidence will grow. And who knows?
Although he had his shot blocked into oblivion out of nowhere, I did like how WR took the ball to the whole. He needs to do more of that because I think he can be good around the rim.

Unlikely - I'm pretty sure that Paterno & co. sold that long ago...
There are times when I might agree with this take, but you have to consider the quality of the shots. Most of the threes they have missed tonight have been great looks. The shots aren't going down, but they have been good shots.
When he sat down the score was PSU 17, Humrichous 19.
While I can't disagree with his take on our offensive philosophy, I agree with you.....this is who we're going to be, so just as well roll with it.
What bothers me about it is we don't function well down the stretch. What I like about it is we can put up points in bunches.
Let's see where it leads us!
Yeah this is the new way of playing. I trust Brad with the style. I think we can all agree there are a few threes every game that you wish we didn’t take but glad they feel confident to take them and Brad has instilled that confidence in them. Lay ups and 3s is what we will see all year.
I think the light has switched on for Ben. Isn't this the same time of year Domask clicked?
I actually think this has been Will’s best game in last 4, excluding Chicago St. Shot isn’t falling, but played better in all other areas.
. . . and two solid FTs made. I hope this guy stays in Champaign.Morez +19 in 7 minutes.
And only 6 points outside of Ben, Morez, Tre.Outside of Tre White and Ben, we've only scored 14 points.
Still two-thirds of what Penn State has
Seriously tho, gonna need some of the others to find their grove just for sustained ability and confidence.
But this is fun!
