YAY HOOPS: Penn State vs. Purdue Live Game Thread

Finally, a little B1G home cookin' at the Jordan Center...What's that? Oh, that's right, the only people who make any noise in that building are still on their Winter Break. Oh well, if Eric's preview is any indication, this may very well end up looking like the mismatch it's expected to be. The good news though, is that you can post all those fun 'flaming bus' and other assorted GIFs you guys enjoy posting when things are looking dire, so you've got that going for you...which is nice.

Tipoff is at 8:00 PM ET and you can watch the action live on BTN. You can also listen to the game on the radio via Channel 113 on Sirius, Channel 190 on XM, or one of these local affiliates.

And as always, the same open thread rules apply. Surely, I don't have to write them out for you every single time.

except Tim Frazer is just not good as a leader on the court

what is he doing? he just throws up shots that he has no business taking…he’s coming down with Jimmer Fredette syndrome

WTF is with the refs in college football?

Shove a guy in the back as he takes a pull up jumper… just let ’em play. Jump up and reach to grab a loose ball in the air… loose ball foul.

I love rooting for Penn State but college basketball is excruciating to watch.

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

Tim Frazier is such a little bad ass.

I hope the rest of this team can get good enough to support a decent run next year.

for not having any big guys...

This team tears down offensive rebounds better than anyone

I love it! Where was this against lafayette!? Or any of the other teams that are worse than purdue that we lost to? Goes to show you… Basketball is a fickle sport

Glover doing a lot of important little things.

And Billy Oliver doing his best Larry Bird impression.

How many rebounds have we got tonight? Like 100?

Where was all of this support...

…during the Michigan game?

by TheSwish on Jan 5, 2012 9:54 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

Billy...

…Oliver commands support.

by TheSwish on Jan 5, 2012 9:55 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

We need to have a BSD event at the BJC

Gotta try to get some more people there to support the team. Great win!

There's a few weekend games that might work throughout the season

Indiana would have been fun but I think that is this weekend. Any game would be fun.

by mundyscorner99 on Jan 5, 2012 10:02 PM EST up reply actions  

The next two weekends don't look too good for me b/c of NFL football

But any of the other weekend games (Neb, NW, Mich) would work for me. After driving 5 hours round trip from Pittsburgh on a work night to see Talor Battle’s Senior Night last year for a game that was a complete beatdown, I wouldn’t mind a decent opponent (but not overwhelming) that could make for a competitive game. To me that looks like Northwestern. Either that or taking down Michigan would be fun to see but less likely in my opinion.

by mundyscorner99 on Jan 5, 2012 10:18 PM EST up reply actions  

That is a great idea

I am in for it. Just a shame that the school stgarts Monday to have a huge home crowd for this, so the students can keep comming back to back the BJC.

I'm still trying to fathom this.

I’m still expecting my iPhone alarm to wake me up to Lonely Island’s “Like A Boss” at 6:30 AM and realize it was just a dream.

Don't sit on your hands

If you were home watching high school football you need a life. The best show in town is at the BJC. Win or lose this team is fun to watch. No problem getting tickets so get off your duff and go to the game. You won’t be sorry.
