I mean we could, of course that means that one of their 40+% 3pt shooters will be open... It's not like they were missing in the 1st half either.

I was referring to IU.

But if NW can trap the post. Why can’t we? Even show traps. Not just get backed down one on one like a practice drill. This is on BU right now.

Two rounds is a freaking pipe dream with where we're at right now. NCAA tournament success requires focus and attention to detail which we haven't shown the capacity for on any sort of consistent basis.

Got to have some luck and the right matchup too. NCAA Tourn is an entire different animal than the regular season.

God I hope Shrewsberry goes to a different conference because he has abused us. He definitely has our number. Good coach.

I mean the defense wasn't the best but this was crazy tonight. They didn't miss at all, Pickett had the game of his life. Regroup and beat Indiana. Not a single team in the country would have beaten Penn state tonight

BS, our defense was suspect all night. They got the switches they wanted and we didn't counter. They are a better shooting team from the perimeter. We are never going to be good with our 3pt shooting % as low as it is. They are a better team. We have great players to build on, but this year, for the first time in my life (watching since the mid 1970's) Penn State is a better team and is better coached.

Wide open. MM just looking at him 5 feet away. We have a good chance to not make it out of the round of 64. This team is so weak mentally. Talent there, but IQ and DAWG is not there.

Stop blaming the refs. While they are perfect that’s not why we are getting killed
They are making their shots and we are not.

Not sure what this has to do with ref blaming. In fact two of those three aren't at the game tonight. We're getting beat tonight- I haven't said otherwise. Simply stating what I think is fairly obvious that the three of them are terrible refs and shouldn't be hired to ref NCAA games. I'm open to hearing your argument that they're actually good refs though.

When a guy goes for 40 against us, there are far bigger issues at hand than the refs.
