The nearly week-long break is over for Pat Chambers' crew. Hopefully, they made the most of it, because a Top 20 Wisconsin team comes barreling into Happy Valley tonight, and it's highly unlikely they forgot the fact they lost two out of three meetings with Penn State last season, including the infamous Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal that made even middle school girls' teams blush.
Tipoff is at 8:00 PM ET and can be seen on BTN. Radio-wise, your options tonight are Sirius Ch 92, or these local affiliates. Also, if you haven't read it yet, please check out Eric's awesome preview of this contest.
And as always, the same live game thread rules apply: No porn, no links to illegal video streams of the game, and no comments that you wouldn't dare say to somebody's face (i.e. anything racist, homophobic, threatening, and the like). Game on.

We've got this one
It’s in the bag baby.
Anyway, the flashlights eat our human power grids, our souls if you will. So i destroyed them, and if a few precious panties were burnt or soiled in the reckoning then so be it
Great start, 8-6 PSU under 16 TO.
Midrange game working off the curl cuts. PSU has scored on 4 of their first 6 possessions.
Hopefully we can keep it up.

Ehhh
Strong defense from Wisky there. PSU can’t go scoreless in these 4 minute games between media TOs. They missed 6 consecutive shots, some easy, in that period.
Wisky up 9-8 with 11:55 to play in the 1st.
That kid who tackled Talor Battle.
Following the score on Yahoo/Rivals
There are Wisconsin fans complaining about how Bo Ryan doesn’t win enough in the comments. Not sure if it’s trolling or actual fans. Either way, I’d gladly take the success Bo Ryan has. If Pat Chambers can get us to that level I’ll be very, very happy.
Pat Chambers is a boss.
Not being able to watch the game is killing me. How do we look?

Jermaine Marshall put the team on his back
PSU went on a 10-0 run, but Taylor responded for Wisconsin. They look out of whack, thanks to some great Penn State defense.
That kid who tackled Talor Battle.
Man I wish I could be there.
I’ll have to settle with abandoning productivity to check for updates on my phone.
Everytime I read the phrase “great Penn State defense” it makes me happy inside.

PSU up 23-17 at the half.
Some terrible calls in the last two minutes.
PSU shooting 45% even though Frazier is 2-8 from the floor.
That kid who tackled Talor Battle.
The travel on Woodyard looked like a bad call for sure
If he would’ve been able to take the ball back out they get the last shot up 8 with a chance to take it to 10 or 11. I think we should have tried to foul Taylor one more time with a foul to give when they had it at 8 seconds because that would’ve probably taken it down to 4 or 5 and pretty much a desperate last second shot with no chance for rebound like they ended up getting.

That jsut made my day!
Coolest thing he’s ever done! Truly, it’s nice seeing Penn State employees doing something in honor of JoePa.

this deserves a WE ARE!

Pat
makes it really, really, really easy to like him. I’m already psyched for next season & beyond.

Pat is the freakin man
I think one of the many reasons I’ve come around on BOB is because I see a lot of Pat Chambers in him.
"Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things."
I'm optimistic for the 2nd half
But it seemed like Wisconsin missed a lot of open 3’s, I can’t imagine it happening all 2nd half, but we’ll see…
Defense
Is really hampering Wisky, forcing them to go deep in the shot clock.

Ugly half on offense.
If we don’t turn it on soon, we’re not going to score 40.
Wisky up 4 with 12 minutes to go.
That kid who tackled Talor Battle.
On defense absolutely
Offense, not so sure I agree.

Shooting on this team is definitely not as good

Last year's team with this year's coach would be something special.
@JPosnanski - I saw a girl crying tonight. When I asked why she said: "Because everybody lost."

This one is gonna piss me off
I havent been completely upset with their other loses. This one I am because they absolutely should have won this game. They had complete control and blew it. Young team i guess.
Let's also give credit where credit is due
Bo Ryan and the UW team stopped by the Paterno statue to pay respects and drop off a signed hat as a memorial offering.
Well done, gents.

Very classy move
Major props to Bo, and his team.

This "new" version
of Rock and Roll PSU sucks! Just go back to the old version because this is just trying too hard.
Just thinking the same
Trying to hard to be different, but still the same. Was not good at all.

Yeah, I'm in favor of just scrapping it altogether.
New version isn’t different enough for me to respect the decision, but it’s enough to piss me off.

Much closer than I would've thought.
The scoring problems are just unreal. The defense let down there for a while, but when we can’t score, we have to be flawless everywhere else and that’s just not going to happen against a team as good as Wisconsin.

The last 2 minutes of the first half
were probably the 2 worst officiated minutes of basketball I’ve ever seen, and ever bad call and no call went Wisconsin’s way. Might have been the difference in the game.
GO IOWA AWESOME
Four things to take away from this game
1) You can’t win a game shooting 6/12 for Free Throws. Especially when you lose by 6.
2) Officiating was horrid in the first half. I have never seen so many missed traveling and over the back calls.
3) Second time I’ve heard the Blue Band play the new “We Will Rock You.” It’s growing on me.
4) Did anyone see the halftime show? If not, imagine one guy juggling another guy in the air while guy in the air is doing flips. Can’t find video, but it was nuts.
Point one is why I just can't force myself to feel bad for PSU losing that one
as for point two, you’re right, but I thought it was fairly uniformly horrid for the first 18 minutes. The last two minutes would have been a travesty against anybody, let alone a home team.
GO IOWA AWESOME
