Somebody give Kofi a lawn chair when Harrar is out past the ft line, ‘cause he’s not leaving the shadow of the rim…

It’s painful to watch Plummer and Trent look off Kofi every game when he has post position. I would not be happy in the huddle if I was working my butt off to seal only to have my guards throw a half-assed ball fake my way and swing the ball around the perimeter/jack a three.

I've got the PSU offense figured out........

Get a 1:1 matchup they like. Get the ball to that guy. Clear one side of the court for him to go 1:1. Sorta what Ohio State did to us with Liddell and Branham.

Seems like our competition plays up to us a bit as well... They are hitting some tough shots so far tonight.

There's no way those two perfectly guarded 3 point shots will fall in the 2nd half for PSU.

PSU is shooting 50% from 2, 50% from 3, yet we are shooting 35% and are up one. We are fine. Kofi needs to work more to get open, we need to make entry passes when they are there.

Agreed. Kofi has to get touches.

Teams seem to find their shooting stroke against us for some reason. Small guards I guess but it happens with great frequency.

looking a little sluggish. Playing down to PSU tempo not good. Let's get out and run. Turn loose the thoroughbreds

The comment that Belo’s hair provides more surface area to be fouled… kinda funny until you think about the concussions.

Personally I think we're playing fairly well, especially on the defensive end. Penn State is simply making some difficult shots on that end. Offensive movement off the ball needs to be better. Penn State is really bracketing Kofi, so slashing and kicking out to the open shooter should be wide open. That said, that is not our MO on offense. Curbelo is the one who can exploit this defense
