YAY HOOPS: Penn State vs. Lafayette Live Game Thread

Yes, the loss to Ole Miss definitely stung, but this is no time for Penn State (6-3) to dwell on it as they take on Lafayette (3-5) at the BJC. Tipoff is at 7:00 PM ET and you can either fork over some money out of your pocket to watch on BTN.com, or listen to Steve Jones and Dick Jerardi call the shots on the Penn State Radio Network.

As for tonight's opponent? Well, let's put it this way: They rank 245th (out of 345 teams) on KenPom, not to mention, KenPom ranks their AdjD (Adjusted Defense) category in 337th. Did we also neglect to mention they're 302nd in rebounding? Forget about the fact that Lafayette features several guys who have the green light to shoot it from 3-point land(most notably Jim Mower's 22-of-53 and Nick Petkovich's 17-of-35 performances on the season), this is a team PSU shouldn't have too much trouble taking down. Of course, that means the opposite is likely to happen now and this game could come down to Tim Frazier having to pull off some Talor Battle-esque heroics.

As always, the same standard thread rules apply. I really hope I don't have to repeat them by this point.

Score update anybody?

It takes courage to stand up for a man in peril, even if he stood up for you.

32-26 with 2:50 in 1st half

now 0-11 from 3 pt. while Lafayette is 6-13. Probably lucky to only be down by 6 with those numbers

Wow. Travis 1-7 from FT-land

Probably should focus on that in practice. Heavily.

by psufan32 on Dec 7, 2011 7:49 PM EST reply actions  

37-32 them at the half

Hopefully Chambers is yelling at them to guard against 3 point shots.

by psfann on Dec 7, 2011 7:50 PM EST reply actions  

Missed the whole first half.

A woman pulled out in front of me. That was fun times. Anyway, looks like a typical flat December performance. Hope Chambers gets them to wake up in the second half.

I hate when the woman pulls out

oh nevermind. totally misunderstood your comment.

On the bright side...

Purdue and Nebraska are struggling as well? I’m reaching here.

My fear is that PSU football

is going to become what PSU basketball is, has been, and always will be.
