YAY HOOPS: Penn State at Nebraska Live Game Thread

As Eric mentioned in his preview this morning, this is one of PSU's better chances at a Big Ten road win. With Tim Frazier and Jermaine Marshall having established themselves as consistent scorers, it's up to guys like Ross Travis, Billy Oliver, Matt Glover, and Jon Graham to not only help pitch in scoring-wise, but to also fill up the stat sheet with rebounds, steals, 3-pointers, and in general to keep up the scrappiness and ATTITUDE they've displayed against the Indiana schools. With that being said, expect to see a Nebraska team that's as desperate as some dude trying to score at a bar during 'last call' fighting like hell to get their first Big Ten win against one of the easier opponents on their schedule.

Tipoff is at 8:30 PM ET and can be viewed on BTN. Otherwise, your only other option is to listen to Steve Jones and Dave Baker on the radio (Sirius Channel 128 or one of these local affiliates).

As always, the standard open thread rules apply: No porn*, no trollish/racist/sexist/homophobic/threatening comments, and no links to illegal video steams of the game.

* Exceptions might be made for pictures of scarecrows getting it on in a corn field.

Well chosen photo.
UNL's big man might not go tonight.

Maybe Graham and Sasa will have big nights.

Let's go state

Keep our momentum going.

OT in NW-Mich game

Means we get to miss the tip of our game. Great.

What a derpy ending.
Nebraska's home arena seems a tad Rec Hall-ish
It is

But not as cool as Rec hall.

I miss Rec Hall.

Biggest reason I wish we hadn’t joined the Big Ten. That was one hell of a home court advantage.

Just disorganized right now.
Is that really Bo?

I can hardly recognize him without his cat.

What is the aggregate age of our head coaches now?

Is it a record?

Holy crap, this is awful.

I guess we were due for one of these after the last two games.

Pat Chambers looks like he's gonna pull a Cantafio in the locker room

DO YOU HAVE ANY PRIDE, BILLY? HUH? DO YOU?

Do you think

he brought a VHS tape to smash?

He's gonna break a laser disc
Nice to see you back at BSD phiman!
Gotta stop by the bball thread.
Not as chaotic, though!
It's like everything is on slo-mo compared to EDSBS.
No shit!

But I love that place!

7-9 for free throws

Trying to stay positive

Is anyone here?

Anyone? Anyone?

What’s the score?

Eric gave me an update on twitter.
37-25 UNL 18:50 left in the second.
Can't we...

Just play Purdue again instead?

Yeah

This is not good.

Guarding guys outside the three point line is stupid.
It could be worse...

We could be Navy… Just sayin

WHY MUST WE SUCK AT BBALL!?
University of Minnesota + Mind Control = Not good
Say what now?
What about that wasn't self-explanatory?
I turned on the TV to check the score

and I heard, “studies in mind control” and saw the U of M banners.

Frightened.

I thought OSU already discovered this?

Which is why Tressel got a parade after being fired…

On second thought,

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Minnesota was behind the 8-ball on this too

Ok, you have a knack for posting great pictures

run with this!

I luv the Z man

but this movie was pretty terrible

I dunno

I’ll watch anything with Steve Carrell in it

Did you see

Crazy, Stupid, Love yet? Awesome movie!

It's on my list
I've seen it twice now.

I made my dad watch it. He thought it was going to be a chick flick and didn’t want to see it, but he ended up loving it!

but strangely addictive

im going to eat your pudding

Just saw it on that BTN commercial

Didn’t know what it was about really. Just didn’t look promising

Oh I'm not watching
Down by 18

which is incidentally the amount in hours it takes to drive to Lincoln from State College.

I mean, they're still playing hard. They're just terrible tonight.
Considering putting the game on mute.

Good lord these guys are dumb.

THEY'RE ALIVE.

I mean, still down 11, but alive.

I have seen PSU down by a lot more and come back

well that was last year. we will find out if they can do it this year.

Too bad Billy didn't save a few of those 3's from the Purdue game

We could use them now!

I hate to ask if a team is good or not because it completely disregards articles written on the subject but...

is Nebraska good?

No. But they are tonight.
I don't think they are

But I think this is a case of a team playing much better at home. Sort of like PSU does. PSU is not in the same league as Indiana but at home they can make things much more competitive. Conversely I think we are going to see plenty of growing pains on the road with a young team.

That's probably true.
In football, at least
Interesting comment on Nebraska's shower facilities...

/awkward

What does it take to rebound well?

Seems like luck, but the ball always seems to bounce to our opponents!

I'm happy we got a Special Teams coach today, by the way :-D
So...since this game is a bust pretty much

Anything random we can discuss?

love the grit

and determination, but my god my high school team shot better

We seem to inspire good shooting for our opponents

I dunno why…

Aaaand, I think we're done here. Damn.
Ben Jones

tweeted that 4 star Safety Demetrious Cox will visit this weekend. Was going to be visiting OSU but was turned away because OSU only wants 5 kids to visit at once. Apparently he was not too thrilled by that.

I'd still worry about Wisconsin with Cox

But ultimately, that’s a good sign

FG's 15-47 3FG's 2-19.
also at home

we seem to get charges…on the road none

They're not giving up!
Statement of the night

“I pulled my hammy watching the replay”
