ummm that place is empty, maybe the weather?
January 7th, 2010 at 8:59 PM ^
This was worse that usual, but PSU never draws well in basketball. Their arena is way too big for their fanbase.
January 7th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
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!
January 7th, 2010 at 9:08 PM ^
I don't think their classes have started up yet. Probably a lot of kids still out of town.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:44 PM ^
Classes didn't start yet, BCS Game tonight, expecting 2-4 inches of snow, and PSU basketball isn't very good this year.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:08 PM ^
Working the ball down low to Simms early aside from the 2 missed FT's, it seems to be working.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:43 PM ^
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.
January 7th, 2010 at 9:06 PM ^
It's Sims - only one "M".
January 7th, 2010 at 7:12 PM ^
0-4 to start, last year I am pretty sure we went maybe 5-30 here. Lets keep pounding the rock inside.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:12 PM ^
someone other than Harris and Simms contribute tonight
January 7th, 2010 at 7:13 PM ^
I think Morris could stop battle or at least contain him.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:14 PM ^
gotten a few offensive rebounds
January 7th, 2010 at 7:17 PM ^
droughts killing us again.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^
this looks a lot like last year's game at PSU. Lots of open looks, no makes.
Defense and rebounding look solid though.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^
this has been terrible, turning the ball over and not even being able to draw iron on open threes
January 7th, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^

It's a reinactment of the friggin' Michigan Basketball season. Argh!
January 7th, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
This team cant shoot. 0-8 from 3 point line.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
first 10 minutes, missed 3's, TO's, sloppy play. They already went away from feeding the ball to Simms as well.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
threw my remote at the tv when he bent over for that loose ball instead of hitting the floor.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:23 PM ^
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?
January 7th, 2010 at 7:31 PM ^
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.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:35 PM ^
your "Kilgore Trout" name brought a smile to my face and made me feel better!
January 7th, 2010 at 7:41 PM ^
glad I could do that for you...
January 7th, 2010 at 7:23 PM ^
Who the hell is doing the commentary? I want this man dead.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:24 PM ^
Channel guide is no help.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
I think it's national on ESPN2.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:29 PM ^
I am a ritard.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
espn2
January 7th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
It's on ESPN2, which is 203 in HD, and, I believe, like 30 in regular def (or somewhere between 29, which is ESPN, and 37, which is Comcast Sports Net). I live on the North Side (Lincoln Park) and have comcast. Hope this helps.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
ESPN 2?
January 7th, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
Turnover Turnover Turnover Turnover...., 2 Break a Ways...Sloppy Play...No 3's Made...3 Air Balls...sounds like if they dont turn it around...ANOTHER LONG NIGHT! This team frustrates me so much...its unbelievable.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
0 for 9 from 3. Numerous turnovers. No one hustling but Novak. Only down 8. Just need a spark
January 7th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
from 3. not going to win against anyone shooting this way.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
Lucky to only be down 8. Where is Manny?
January 7th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
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.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
he is such a liability on defense
January 7th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
This is about to turn in to a blowout soon.
Stu if you don't shoot you may as well just sit down.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
almost unwatchable.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:32 PM ^
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.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:55 PM ^
Its the same distance as last year...am i correct? So i would say no.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:32 PM ^
12 points
January 7th, 2010 at 7:33 PM ^
and yet I can't turn away
January 7th, 2010 at 7:33 PM ^
if they aren't going to step up the effort
January 7th, 2010 at 7:35 PM ^
combined might not win 10 big ten games, yet we can't hang with them
January 7th, 2010 at 7:38 PM ^
We hung with Indiana ok?
January 7th, 2010 at 7:35 PM ^
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.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:38 PM ^
If you haven't noticed, he's not the one missing the shots.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:41 PM ^
No, but he recruited the players that are taking the majority of three point shots.
