MBB vs. Penn State thread

I think im gonna walk down the street to northland HS and kiss center court. Thank you Trey!

Wisconsin up 39-22 over OSU at the half.

I don't mind McGary biting on that fake. A bunch of made 3s is pretty much all that hurts you. His help D needs work.

but boy do we have a lot of work to do to get the wheels fully back on the bus.  Boxing out and interior defense need to improve a lot if we are going to do anything in March.

So the D has been iffy most of the year, but it seems to have gotten worse lately. Is it really Morgan being missed? I don't seem to remember him being a huge D presence.

They're up 8 with less than 20 seconds. Let them make their layup.

I do wish we got off to better starts, though.

Double-double for GRIII.

not impressive at all. if we were playing a decent team we woulda been in big trouble, let's hope this win got them out of their funk.

Eh, an unsatisfying win is still a win.  Time to take a week off and recharge the batteries with rest and practice.

hustle around the way McGary does.  Burke always working hard, but emotion not his game.  Rest of team could stand to amp it up a bit.  If you were ust looking at his stat line, you'd think McGary had an off night, but he had a lot of impact this afternoon.

This entire stretch of games has shown how much we miss Jordan Morgan when it comes to interior defense. It started with all of the offensive rebounds given up to Cody Zeller which pretty much all ended up being put back dunks. Mitch takes to many chances on steals and just isn't as good defensively rebounding wise or when it comes to positioning in the post. When we get him back the defense will go back to what it was. which wasn't elite but still damn good. I still think we can win the tournament if he comes back healthy.
