Man that Hummel kid is killing us.

Purdue is on an 8-0 run since we put Battle and Pringle back in. They are eating us up in man-to-man. The zone was slowing them down.

Good first half. We got a little sloppy there at times with the turnovers. If we can limit those we have a chance in the second half.

It seemed like we were playing better when Walker and Morrissey were in there. Those guys are crafty and know how to get open off the screens. We had to play the 2-3 zone with them and Purdue seemed to have problems with that.

Pringle and Battle seem to have problems running the offense against these guys. Purdue likes to step out on the screens and force them away from the basket. But there at the end they were pushing the transition game and seemed to be doing well there. Should be a good second half if we stay focused. We have to avoid the imfamous 10 minute scoring drought. Let's not forget Purdue is a very young game, and with the Wisconsin game coming up this could be a trap game for them.

He has had numerous discussions with his father who really likes the way Penn State has recruited Terrelle. Penn State has been to Terrelle's father's house numerous times and had done a good job making him feel comfortable that PSU is the right place for his son.

So as of now it's OSU, Michigan, PSU and Oregon for his services with no signing date set. He could change his mind again when he wakes up, so I am simply reporting what he's telling me.

Trust me, he is not doing this for the attention, this kid sounds as torn up about a decision as any I've covered. And he is aware of the reputation that some folks are pinning on him and to that he told me he has to do what is right for him and can't worry about public opinion. He and his family come first and this is an important decision that he's not going to rush for anyone.

Good news for PSU fans here no doubt.
