We need to run some sets to get Leal open. He can shoot the three. We e all seen it last year. If these other guys can’t get it done WTF?

This is the only fanbase that can convince someone that a career 2pt 1 reb and 1ast player could be the savior of this team lol love the enthusiasm, don't believe the sales pitch

Can we trade Myles Rice midseason? Might have to attach a second round pick to get someone to take on that contract 

You want to trade our best guard?

Baldwin sitting most of the half, PSU 0-8 from three and we couldn’t build a lead.

It's actually impressive, and absolutely mind boggling lol

[DoctorP 1,100]

Rice averaging 10ppg in 7.5 games vs P4 competition. Simply just not good enough.

Winning this game would be big for the metrics, no?

Any B1G road win except at Mini Soda is.

I think he needs to shoot more when he is open but running sets, I don’t think so

Sure, if we can get back some good draft capital. Frees up $$ to go portal hunting next year. 
Im of course being a little facetious. But dude has been non-existent repeatedly this year when playing against physical guards. 
This ain’t the conference for him. 
I have no doubt he’d be putting 16/7 in the SEC

As long as the B1G prides itself for playing rugby on the bball court then he’s gonna struggle

Have you not noticed his excellent defense today?

[IUFAN1976 3,293]

What is wrong with Rice when he plays on the road?  Carlyle and Tucker only need to play 10-12 minutes per game until they can find their offense and quit playing them both at the same time

He needs to be a non-zero on the offensive side. His offensive lows have been low, low, low.

Carlyle’s confidence is shot. He’s unplayable right now.

It’s a sad day as usual around here if saving our season/game depends on getting our 5 year senior that hardly plays open looks that he won’t take. Boy the guards we picked up in the portal are awesome.

[OKHOOSIER 2,483]

I thought Tucker had some good minutes, he’s just gotta understand why he’s always open from three and put the ball on the deck. 

[RaceToTheTop 26,089]

I expect that Penn State is going to try to go at Ballo to get his third foul.  That's where those horrible calls on Ballo change games.

To be fair, the second foul on Baldwin was just as horrible.....but it's hard to go after a guard to get him his third.

I think when other guards get physical, he plays on his heels.  Isn’t it the coaches responsibility to recruit physical guards that play in the B10 and fit your system, whatever the heck that is

[LIHoosier 26,359]

Damn, MM even hit the heat check!

[OKHOOSIER 2,483]

Nice! Tucker with the drive and kick is what we need!

[Hoosier DaDa 2,549]

Good start

Let’s go Mgbako!!!
