Hey, Kats. What is the rumor surrounding Hamga? I haven't heard anything about him.... and no Hummel tonight.

T-Mill said...

I had just heard we were in the running and he had visited us. Beyond that it is a dream.

HartPU said...

Having some beef in the middle that could clean up the glass sure would be nice.

T-Mill said...

Kramer is at least going to try and play, though how much does a hurt Kramer help?

T-Mill said...

Pathetic crowd for Penn State tonight. That's embarassing. Grab the damn ball! that's five offensive rebounds on one posession.

hartpu said...

It doesn't help a whole lot. Part of me wishes he would just rest his foot this game.

Giving them 5 chances at the hoop is not a good way to start.

T-Mill said...

We're just getting out-worked.

T-Mill said...

Nice move, bad finish!

T-Mill said...

First TV timeout: Well, about the only good thing we've done was LewJack's fake to the basket. Even that had an awful finish.

T-Mill said...

Thank you, JaJuan!

T-Mill said...

We might want to put a guy on Pringle, I'm just saying...

T-Mill said...

Come on guys, we can still get this thing. Just settle down and play D.

T-Mill said...

BOBBY BUCKETS!!!!

T-Mill said...

Why the F*** do we refuse to box out? Put your ass in their gut guys!!!!

T-Mill said...

2nd TV timeout 21-10. Calasan came to play tonight. It almost feels like we're exerting so much on defense that we relax when the shot goes up. That puts us out of position for the board.

T-Mill said...

About time Keaton Grant hit a 3. Is he heating up?

T-Mill said...

Marcus Green owes us three points. he should have had that rebound with four black shirts around him and four Penn state guys running to the other end of the floor. Just grab the damn ball.

T-Mill said...

Big shot by Ryne Smith. We're living by the three, but we need to go inside. ic an't beleive we're running Johnson on the high post.

T-Mill said...

Will someone please inform me when we stopped teaching guys to box out.

T-Mill said...

4th TV timeout 37-30 Penn State. We've fixed things defensively except on the glass. Our patchwork offense is even starting to work. Smith and Riddell are playing some solid minutes. That will only help for later.

T-Mill said...

Okay, whoever from the Paint Crew went to this game, you have my UNDYING respect. Especially so since school is back in session.

T-Mill said...

I'd hate to see the team bathroom for us. There is probably piss all over the walls because these guys can't hold on to their junk.

T-Mill said...

Three opportunities to get it under six = three turnovers.

T-Mill said...

Disjointed on offense, getting owned on the glass, making mistakes at the absolute wrong times, and we cannot simply grab the ball.

Yet we're still in this.

DonPardo said...

I think its about time for Moore to take over a game, right?

T-Mill said...

Moore has the ability to. This team is dying for us to just pound the ball inside to Johnson and Calasan, yet we have them playing 20 feet from the basket.

DonPardo said...

Our lack of ability to contain the dribble drive is killing us this year..

T-Mill said...

A threshold crossed: we got it under 6!

T-Mill said...

Calasan did exactly what we have needed to do this whole game.

DonPardo said...

There we go.. Moore baby!

T-Mill said...

Tough shot by Pringle. I didn't like E'Twaun's 3 before it.

DonPardo said...

Not a good time to go cold.. Cant let them get the momentum back

T-Mill said...

Moore needs hte ball more. I really hope Painter is telling them we're not required to shoot 3-pointers over a 2-3 zone. It's not even a true 2-3 they're playing.

T-Mill said...

DonPardo, you continue to be right.

DonPardo said...

money

T-Mill said...

HUGE to get the lead before this TV timeout.

DonPardo said...

We are not giving up offensive rebounds right now which is huge.. Also forced 5 TO's to our none.. I think we have finally settled down and that has a lot to do with Moore looking to lead this offense.. We are not getting jittery and quick for ourselves....

T-Mill said...

Agreed. We just need to keep it up for 10 more minutes.

T-Mill said...

Killer time to not box out.

DonPardo said...

these touch fouls are getting ridiculous.. let them play...

Johnson is really getting dominated all game long...

T-Mill said...

Yeah, Johnson has struggled mightily. As long as we can weather this cold spell and score on this possession we will be fine.

T-Mill said...

We have had way too many empty possessions. We need a score.

DonPardo said...

i think its time for grant to hit a big shot...

T-Mill said...

I don't care if Painter himself finds anotehr year of eligibility and hits it himself, as long as someone hits it.

T-Mill said...

Keaton Grant is such a liability right now.

T-Mill said...

10-0 run. we haven't scored in over 6 minutes.

DonPardo said...

This team is very frustrating.. We had about a 6 or 7 minute period there we had very good offensive movement and shot selection.. And the last 6 or 7 minutes it has looked like we have never played together before..

T-Mill said...

I just can't beleive that sequence.

T-Mill said...

Thank you LewJack for hitting a shot.

T-Mill said...

LewJack times 2!!!! Hell of a play by Chally.

DonPardo said...

I like Painter.. but it really seems like the last 12 minutes of a game he absolutely refuses to substitute.. When we hit the cold stretch I would have liked to see him insert Smith of Riddell..

DonPardo said...

Finally a loose ball situation that went our way!!

T-Mill said...

Ballgame. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.
