Penn St up 19 with 16 min to go. Good to see Wheeler bricking wide open 3s again.

Looks like Purdue blew their wad against IU, getting smacked by penn state.

I guess defense is on Winter Break.

Good news for Teflon John is if Vandy can hold on, it'll take the fans 20 minutes to get to the court to rush it.

Crap, PSU is making this a game. KP may keep Purdon't in the top 10.

Purdue about to get away with murder on the defensive end in the last 9 min.

Miles Dread with a dagger for PSU

[Stuhoo 89,149]

Unnmmm...

Matt Painter just pretty much whacked Jahaad Proctor on top of the head during a timeout.

Passion and fight from a coach. I like it. Stu Hoo, you talking about when Painter was showing them how to close out on a shooter?

Treyvon Williams is hitting 3's now? F*** our team.

[LIHoosier 27,694]

pUKe up 9 with 7 minutes left. There will be no long distance court storming tonight.

PSU however hit some FT's and scored 88 in the self anointed 'Land of Defense'.

[TheWatShot 15,474]

Just makes last Saturday even more infuriating.

To be fair, I'm not sure our team can make 14 threes in a 2-hour practice yet alone 26 attempts in a live game.

Plummeted all the way to 19. They were above Penn State before this game.

So I'm watching Dayton beat the snot out of Rhode Island. Dayton is No. 6 in the country and will be 22-2 after this blowout is complete. ... Anthony Grant, an alum, is the coach and appears to be doing a great job. He was very good at VCU, then not-so good at Alabama. Shaka Smart also was very good at VCU, but has been considered a failure at Texas and barring a major turnaround, this likely will be his last season there. Just a few years ago, he was the next big thing. ... John Groce was pretty good at Ohio U., but failed at Illinois. ... There are myriad examples like this: The hot coach from a mid-major goes to a Power 5 school and ... stinks. 

Will Grant become a hot commodity again, or will the Alabama failure scare people off? Or since he is at his alma mater, will he be content to just stay there, perhaps realizing that that level is appropriate for him? 

Why are there coaches who seem to hit their ceiling at that level and for some reason, can't carry their success over to a Power 5 program? What would've happened had Few taken the IU job when we offered years ago? Or had he gone to the Pac-12 when he flirted with UCLA a few years back? He said he was happy in Spokane and thought he could win a natty at Gonzaga. He hasn't, but he has been to a Final Four and to the Elite Eight a couple other times. 

All these examples have me curious, because I know of a Power 5 school that has a coach from a mid-major that so far, doesn't seem to be working out. I'm asking for a friend, if you will ... LOL!

Good post. And ???? I would say recruiting and I think that’s the biggest part of it. But facing good coaches with better players is equally the answer.

I think Texas and Alabama were playing the game though, so it makes it a bit more of a conundrum.
