Still haven't one 2 B1G games in a row. Becoming one of the surest bets in sports.
Good thing we came out so prepared to play in a critical game.

Let it not be said that our kids don't have heart.

Need it ALL game long.
It is nice to see that our team doesn't give up. ... But disturbing that they bring no intensity to start the game.
Amen. It may be all for nothing, but they definitely didn't quit.

Good effort by the team in the 2nd half. Absolute mystery why we continue to be completely unprepared to start games though. Keep it to even a 12 point lead at the half and we win this

How can you not have JCL in the game in the waning seconds when you need shooters? Seriously who is making these decisions. They are simply unexplianable
This. Heart requires being ready from tip, not just when you are down big.

Is it sad that I don't care anymore? At this point I'm not even upset about losses because I feel it's another step towards the change that is needed. An NCAA tournament berth in a year when the Big Ten was down would have been nothing special, in my opinion, so I think this is all for the better.
It is also nice to see JCL hit a few shots and Kipper play well. On the other hand, Abrams, Tate, Thorne? What exactly are they contributing?
Depends on where and what half.
Not ready to play, low intensity, bad Bball IQ:
hallmarks of a Groce team.

We give effort all the time. It only makes a damn bit of difference when the other team is busy wrapping their hands around their throat.
Good showing second half, unfortunately not enough, has to be all 40 minutes.
No terrible play. Correct call.
Some of the oddest lineup / substitution decisions in college basketball.
Well since we lost this one in the first half, tonight's post game thread will continue to be "we always come out so flat."
Nights we lead at half and have a PSU meltdown in the 2nd half, "Groce makes no adjustments and continues to get out coached."
Great effort mounting a comeback. Desperately need these next two now of which they're fully capable of at home.

Could it be that Groce has everything so analyzed/planned that everyone is trying to follow some script. They just need to come out and play like their hair is on fire which is what they started to do in the second half.
