Why was Trent and Kofi on the bench for so long?

Predicting that's exactly what we'll see coming out of the locker room.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a really different lineup coming out.
We won't shoot this poorly all game.

Too bad Plummer's D is weak
They shot 52% vs our 31% and they're only up 1. I'm not worried.
But for once I would like if we could just dominate a game from start to finish. Even Nebraska beat these guys by 20. I don't remember the last time we did that to a team.

When we commit an over and back bringing the ball down, you know they are not focused. That’s a junior high play

I predicted it would be close. Hoped it wouldn’t be so close at half.
I think we are sleeping, no title to play for, assuming we would win. Wake up now and not at 4 mins to go. We need intensity.
Get it to Kofi more. Was shocked Kofi didn’t get about 1000 touches with Harrar out

Why did I know this is how the game would go? Ugh. We win a lot more these days but we don't seem to have learned how to win without inducing a panic attack every time.

The real losers here are Penn State fans. Can you imagine watching this style of play 30+ times a year?
At this point, just win and move on.
We really need a killer instinct if we want to have a successful NCAA. These kinds of efforts will get us bounced in the first or second round.

This is a game where Kofi needs to catch, keep the ball high, take his step and throw it down.
9 of 30 overall from the field and 5 of 15 from three...not a recipe for success.
I've been paying more and more attention to the fact that we don't get "easy" transition baskets. We all know the three is the key to their offense (50% of their shots), but it used to be a staple of a BU team to cause chaos, create turnover and turn them into transition hoops. Not so much this year. They really have to work for each and every basket, which puts even more stress on the shooters.

I'm expecting to see the starters on the court, and 10 early shots in the paint by Kofi --- all in first 10 minutes of the 2nd half.

Feed Kofi again and again til they stop it.

K-O-F-I.........
More Kofi down low, much more.
We are losing to a team that is basically playing a junior high junk defense - triangle and 2.
Trent had 2 of our 4 fouls. Kofi was ineffective - I think Brad was trying Hawkins at the 5.
I'm very worried we allowed Penn St to shoot 52%. They started out cold as ice (2/7), but we let them hang close and now it will be a dogfight most likely the entire second half.
