Probably a combination of weather, conflict with football NC game, and just poor fan support for PSU bball. I think I've watched maybe two games where they filled that place. Gotta be a bit eerie playing in front of a crowd that you'd otherwise expect for a gymnastics meet.

I tuned in at the half and thought, geez, it's not like the FANS are making this game difficult!

I'm not sure I have ever loved/been so frustrated with a player at the same time. He has contributed so much to this program and has been a key player in a lot of big wins for the wolverines. His talent is undeniable; to the point where he was flirting with the draft last year. But it amazes me how he is able to disappear for whole halves or even games. It seems like some nights, like tonight (hopefully), he uses his strength and skills as a post player to really make a difference. Other nights, it's like he tries to get through the whole game without crossing either 3 point arc.

By all accounts, he is a great kid, and he is certainly a great college player. He has been fun to watch over my years here. If only he got the most of his talents, we would be a more dangerous team, and he would be a more relevant pro prospect.

I am ready for Manny to head to the NBA. His effort is getting worse every game. He turns the ball over and never even took a step to chase the kid down. He acts like he either has lost interest or has his eyes on the nba already. There, that is off my chest does anyone else see this?

I understand some of the frustration, but without Manny this team is worse than anything Amaker ever had.

Leading the Big Ten in scoring, leads the team in assists and steals, only one who can create his own shots...

Talent wins over scheme and hustle nine times out of ten, let's not send away our most talented player.

got lucky there with the foul cause that was going to be another TO for Manny. He's got more TO's than points so far.

They have to find a way to win this game, they have NW and IU at home coming up it would give them some hope and hopefully some confidence.

if this has been brought up before, but I wonder just how much of a direct effect the change of the 3-point distance has had on this team's inability to shoot this season.

Belein so far has brought me two years of embarassment to go with one year of having a decent team. He's definitely not a great coach. I suppose he's a mediocre coach.
