The key to today’s game is to not let Penn State go 18/31 from long distance again. Play any semblance of defense and IU will win the game

Agreed. We are have to find our man in transition or they will light it up from 3

Penn State has been playing outstanding basketball.

I expect this will be a close one

Agree that JG is a matchup play, but I like him more against big, slow teams. He can defend well in the post, but he gets lost way too much to be okay against a spread the floor distance shooting team. Kinda like the idea of him singled up on Pickett tho.

Should he be even dressing? That image of him pouting during that timeout last night was such a bad look

Same situation as last season: Win our semifinal and get to play little brother in the title tilt. 

Last year, a lucky 35-foot banked 3-pointer foiled our efforts.

Ugh, head to bar to watch the game with a friend and see PU stomped OSU, shoot. 

Time for a no lose Saturday afternoon. Beat PSU and move on in the conf tourney. Lose and we’re still a 4 seed with more rest, and maybe motivation. 

Cold beers and late lunch with a friend just enjoying the game. Let’s go

My issue with Edey is the refs let him use more physicality on defense because his size. “He’s so big we gotta let him play”. But then when a defender tries to use a little more physicality than normal to contain him the refs can’t wait to call the foul 

Hell, he's allowed to play with more physicality on offense than defenders are allowed to play with against him. I've never seen another player that is allowed to bulldoze, elbow, or shoulder the defender out of the way so much while also getting touch fouls called on the defenders. Then both he and Painter whine if the refs don't do everything possible to protect him.

Penn State’s tank has to be low. 3 games in 3 days they got to be running on fumes.

Let’s GO HOOSIERS!

[Trish]

Checking in for todays game. First championship appearance since 2001 correct? That’s a lot to play for. 

[Josh]

Omg I'm so excited to hear Bill Raftery say Man to Man!

[Home Jersey]

Billing TJD as a point center is a little funny, but I'll allow...

Let's Go Hoosiers!

Unnecessary, kind of catty, and false. Let’s just agree to disagree 

Describing something kind of unnecessary with some of your posts is pretty rich.

IU was really hurting in that first matchup as well. They had just come off of devastating losses to Iowa and Northwestern. I feel IU should be more prepared this time around

[IU - Kaulie]

Go Big Red!  Let’s go!

[HoosierAloha]

PSU is going to shoot threes and there are going to be long and weird rebounds. Let's block out to get those rebounds instead of trying to out jump people.
