I'm a horrible fan…I'm kind of hoping the game is close in the final minutes and PSU presses us so we can see Crean sweat bullets while his team panics and finishes the game with 3 timeouts.

You think that's bad?  I'm kind of hoping we top 7 straight turnovers, we all know this team has it in them.

Hey, if we turn it over 16 possessions in a row maybe this team will get it out of their system for the game.  Or end up with 30, one or the other.

I kind of agree and disagree. While I think Hartman would have been a valuable piece to this team, that's an injury I don't want to hear about. We lost him early enough to adjust, and we have/had enough talent to overcome, and no reason that should be brought up in Jan/Feb. But, when you lose Hartman, OG and. JBJ that's significant and I wouldn't expect too many coaches to overcome that. That's three of your top 7, tough to overcome that. But Crean lost this team long before OG and JBJ were out. 

As mentioned, I also don't want to hear in January about some guy pulling a hammy last June, or a guy rolled an ankle in September. It's February, that's an excuse. 

It definitely would be tough to overcome but this team did just flat out suck before those injuries to OG and JBJ. And that's where the injury excuse comes into the equation. Crean knows they sucked before those injuries but he uses it as an out to excuse the poor play we're seeing right now. There's still no reason they can't run a somewhat decent offense and play even a lick of defense. That's where fundamentals comes into play as well. Simple basics will win basketball games. But obviously that doesn't seem to be the thinking of the team

Don't worry. Crean is clutch with the late game plays. 🤥

Yep, he's just itching to draw up the same play Duke used to beat pUKe on the last second Christian Laettner shot.

I don't have much confidence in this coach or team but I don't see us losing to PSU at home. They're not a good shooting team even when left open. Assembly Hall comes through and we get the win.

I still get excited for the games as well. Most of the time this year that excitement wears off a few minutes after tipoff, but I look forward to the game all day long. 

[Bruce 10]

Hey, all you Crean haters have another thread for bashing ... over 400 pages of wasted time and energy!  Can we keep all that negativity over there?  

Sounds u need a safe space ASAP

The mailman will be at the Hall tonight so they better win. Not a fan of the drive back up 37 after a loss

I'll be going tonight with my youngest son.  We'll be coming in from the west on 46, which is congested at this time of the evening.  Can't compare to 37.  It's scary.  Be careful.

37 isn't as bad as it has been. But I wouldn't be a fan of driving any road after a loss
