Then there is no way he should keep his job. No way in hell has he earned an extension.

Until he proves otherwise this was just lip service, to try and convince people he has expectations and cares IMO.  He should have done it after last season after 2 years of off court incidents and a team that was too friggin' lazy to even try to play defense.

I didn't think Troy was as good last year as others did.  He still got by on pure athleticism but had more than his fair share of WTF decisions.

Well the commentators tonight called him an "NBA player for sure".  I was too dumbfounded to laugh; Williams only shot at the NBA is being a freak athlete, as a basketball player he's not good at all.

I wouldn't say Troy has regressed, he just hasn't really improved.  Junior Troy is pretty much the same as freshman Troy; insane athleticism and a basketball IQ through the floor.

One big difference....

That was a pathetic performance.  There were some incredibly dumb decisions on the court and just being careless tonight, that's on the players.  We've seen that same thing quite a bit though with Crean as coach, so he shouldn't be absolved but there's definitely a player aspect to it.   We can't say anything about the refs.  We got the benefit of some pretty questionable calls ourselves tonight.  We didn't deserve the win and Penn State made the plays they needed to.   We went cold in the second half, but as they say live by the 3 and die by the 3.  Frankly, PSU took a lot of ill advised jumps shots when Bryant and Bielfeldt were in foul trouble and also missed quite a few pretty good looks.

There's times the NCAA isn't even bound by logic and reason.  One step at a time.

Looks like Tyra might be alright.  She appears to be moving better, but it could tighten up on her later.

Couldn't tell.  She may have rolled her ankle.

The Buss has a problem with a wheel.

Nice take, Tyra.  And she's limping now, damn it.

Okay, she really was robbed on that layup.

A couple minutes ago they said Buss had 9 assists, now they're saying 7.  She was robbed!

If only Emma Watson's number would show up in my phone.....   /checks phone   Well crap.

4

Buss had 10 boards and 9 assists.  If her shot would come around....

Pretty weak foul call on Towner.

I know it doesn't need to be said, but Buss is real easy on the eyes.

And I don't know about anyone else, but watching Buss and it looks like she'd be a nightmare if she develops.

Oof, we've made some ill advised passes.   Yes, Tyra, I'm looking at you.  I don't know what she's thinking with some of the passes she's made.

Iowa just looks like the better team.   And I hope we at least offered the Indiana Ms. Basketball that's been killing us in this game.

I will point out that in Zeller's second year the team peaked @MSU which wasn't until the middle of February.

Fixed that one for you.

It's Kentucky, basketball is about all they have.  Take that away and they wallow in misery in their pathetic excuse of a state, or commonwealth, or whatever they want to call themselves to feel like they matter.
