Eric's awesome-as-usual preview of this clash can be found here
I almost decided to completely eschew a live game thread of what's likely to be an imminent beat down at the hands of Sparty tonight, but the thought of letting down the few of you live hoops thread die-hards nixed that idea. Tipoff is at 6:30 PM ET and can viewed on BTN or listened to on these radio affiliates, Sirius Ch 92, or XM Ch 191.
And as always: No porn, no racist/sexist/homophobic/trollish like comments, and no links to illegal video feeds of the game. Oh, and hope against hope that there's enough ATTITUDE in the air to potentially spark an upset...

Your starting five:
Frazier, Colella, Woodyard, Oliver, and Graham.

It's not cheating when you do it on the Kiss-Cam.
Lots of chucking and ducking and ring around the perimeter early on
Feels like Ed DeChellis redux.

Lets keep it within 25 boys
Frazer had an easy bucket that he just missed. Good old PSU on the road.

This is embarrassing
It may be the first shutout ever!
Yes.
I say we forfeit the remaining home games.

Defense played exceptional
Offense non existent.

The fact that we're not down by 20 shows how great we are playing on one end of the floor.

If not for a few bad turnovers that led to fast break points
This game would even be closer.

If not for the fact
That our offense sucks, we would be winning.

Said every losing team ever
Haha, love it.

If Michigan State is the 2nd best team in the Big Ten
It is going to an ugly NCAA tournament for this conference.
So, what are the odds PSU hits 15 points before halftime?

We should ask for a special exemption to only play home games the rest of the season
I think the NCAA would grant it after watching this first half.
Should have dunked the damn ball
Hate when a big guy down low tries to lay it in, instead of the dunk.

Agreed.
Definitely why Chambers was about to kill someone as he walked off the floor.

With you on this x1000
It’s like that pissing standing up thing the other day: if you’re able to, you better damn well do it.

First half comparison
Comparing the Iowa to MSU first halves.
Stat – IA|MSU
PPP – 0.51 | 0.54
eFG% – 30.0% | 24.0%
OReb% – 26.1% | 20.0%
TO% – 29.7% | 25.7%
FTR – 10.0 | 40.0
Unreal.

Ignorant person here
What is FTR?

Free Throw Rate.
FTA/FGA. Measures how often you get to the foul line.

Figured it was something that was related to FT
Appreciate it.

This is hard to watch

Making a little run
What is this? They are making baskets and putting up points?

21 percent
FG percent to end the half….ugh i dont mind that chambers opened up a scholarship to help recruit a player for his system, i do hope he saves it for a 2013 guy though and not a last minute 2012 guy
Whoever it is
Hope they are a shooter.

One thing this team doesn't do
Is sit back and take it no matter what the score is. just wish they can start a game like this half and the second half of the Iowa game.

our football team would have worked on their fundamentals while getting destroyed by Bama
Ooofa, did I just say that???

Can we somehow get Green to foul out?
Attack him and make him get a foul or two, then we might have a chance.

Whoa
Don’t call it a comeback
"Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things."
Haha
Well, that was fun while it lasted.

Chambers...
…is gonna make them puke when they get back.

I don't understand this team.
I love them, but I don’t get ’em at all.

This team reminds me of the '09-'10 squad
It was Talor Battle and the seven dwarves.
With the loss of Cornley, Pringle and Morressy to graduation, the remainaing guys, Brooks, Jones and Jackson couldn’t make up the scoring, and Timmy was just a freshman. Everyone deferred to Battle to carry the scoring load, so they tanked that season. Nowadays they all defer to Frazier. Marshall and Oliver have shown flashes, but the bigs provide little inside threat/production. The question is will they show improvement next year. This team desperatey needs offense. Here’s hoping Newbil and Lewis contribute to help take the load off Frazier when Marshall gets cold. Graham and Sasa are going to have to step it up next year. That is all.
This team is going to wind up doing something silly.
Like going on a run through the Big 10 tourney, knocking off everyone they shouldn’t and finally losing to Indiana in the championship game, just to break our hearts one last time and miss a chance to improbably go to the postseason.
"This is being a Penn State fan. We’ll prove it, or we won’t. It’s not about proving it to them, it’s about proving to ourselves."
That'd be awesome.
But I don’t think this team has more than 1 upset in them for the B1G tournament. And if they play either Indiana school, forget about it. Especially this year when IU is finally good.
