Double Trouble Open Thread

Penn St. Nittany Lions at Michigan St. Spartans, Mar 4, 2010 7:00 PM EST


The men's basketball team plays Michigan State tonight at 7:00 P.M. riding a one game win streak into the Breslin Center.  You can catch the action on ESPN2.

When we last left our heroes, they were beating down Northwestern's tournament hopes for the second time at the Jordan Center.  Penn State has now won three of its last four games.

We're posting the thread early, though, because the Lady Lions will face Minnesota at 2:30 P.M. on the Big Ten Network  in the first round of the conference tournament. 

It's no secret the women have been in free fall since their 15-4 start, but hope springs eternal in the auto-bid for the winner of the tournament, and anything is possible in this whacky and wild league, where 2nd and last are seperated by six games.

Use this thread to discuss both games.  Here's to lot's of MMMBOPing tonight.

UPDATE: Lady Lions beat Minnesota 63-52 behind a strong second half by Tyra Grant and 12 points from Nikki Greene.  PSU will face Iowa tomorrow afternoon, a team it's beaten twice so far this season, for a spot in the semis.

MMMBOP away.

by fugimaster24 on Mar 4, 2010 7:44 PM EST reply actions  

Actually we need to win a game to get the #10 seed

The reason they showed us playing NW is because Indiana already has 14 losses, and what they were saying is that it is “as of right now”. We could be about an hour away from our 14th loss too, which we would then go back to the 11th seed. We can’t finish ahead of Indiana if we are tied with them since we lost to the Hoosiers.

Defense hasn't been the problem

Unless you count “throwing the ball away and giving up the world’s easiest fast breaks” as “defense”.

Eh. Nothing Battle could do there.

Awkward rebound, and that let Lucas get on him right away. Great showing on national TV. Would’ve loved a win, but I’m ambivalent to winning right now. What’s the point?

I think I believe in Ed.

He gets complimented by announcers (I don’t like Lavin, but he was a decent coach), he gets complimented by Izzo and others, and someone is motivating these guys.

I think we’re gonna be pretty good next year. Especially you, Chris Babb. Black Joe Crispin.

And honestly, who would have expected this two weeks ago?

We’re playing with either reckless abandon with nothing to lose, or we’re actually progressing and have nothing to lose.

by dawsonPSU10 on Mar 4, 2010 9:02 PM EST up reply actions  

The good news is...

They’re all busting their asses, Jones and Brooks seem to be playing better, DJ’s become a good outside shooter, Babb has learned how to shoot non-threes. And Battle’s still great.

Oh, what the hell. Keep Ed. We’re not gonna get anyone better anyway.

half of the clowns in the PSU basketball section at Scout.

This will be just another loss from “Almost Eddie”.

I saw the team try when they could have easily threw in the towel weeks ago.

I'm getting to the point where I'm not sure how to feel about these team

Should we feel encouraged that they are being very competitive against some of the best teams in the conference, or disappointed that it took so look for them to show this type of effort? (Please don’t say they’ve been doing this all year because there is no way they would have lost to Indiana, Iowa, Tulane, etc. if they showed THIS effort). What has been the difference? I mean most of the guys on this team are veterans so it’s not like they needed to get adjusted. I hope they can get this type of effort from EVERY player next season. I’m really impressed with how we have played on the road this season in some tough places.

by mundyscorner99 on Mar 4, 2010 10:18 PM EST reply actions  

Encouragement.

This team could have folded. Instead, every player on this team has improved. Even Tim Fraizer It’s not often that a winless team starts scaring top 12 teams. Babb has gone from crappy Jon Deibler to being a solid 3 shooter and finding a midrange game. Best of all, they don’t play scared anymore. We were literally one play away tonight – next Ed has to teach them to stay smart on fastbreaks.
