It's been a rough last few days for us all, no doubt. Let us begin the healing process by focusing on Penn State-Ohio State basketball...Wait, that didn't sound good at all.
Tipoff is at 6:30 PM ET and can be viewed on BTN or listened to on the radio via Sirius Ch 128 or XM Ch 190, or any of these local affiliates. And since I'm not in the mood for any creative paragraphing right now, all I'm going to say is just remember the open thread rules and ye shall avoid the almighty banhammer.

Let's go State!!
Keep it within 25!
An make a shot already
AriesGD - January 25, 2012
We might have to adjust that.
And pray we keep it within 25 before the half.
Eric Gibson - January 25, 2012
Sad when we have more offensive rebounds than points
AriesGD - January 25, 2012
Well
They kept it within 25.
LAPSU - January 25, 2012
Yikes
Not the greatest start.
LAPSU - January 25, 2012
Well, this is going really really well...

I just read that picture caption
That is good stuff right there.
AriesGD - January 25, 2012
It was a given this was going ot be a bad game
But I am watching more, the scrappy defense and the rebounding. Good to see that from the team, that will carry alot of weight going into next year. Just need to shoot a bit better and stop fouling!
AriesGD - January 25, 2012
Just saw the score.
BOO HOOPS.

PSU
Has OSU just where they want them here. Give them false sense, and then pounce.

That Craft half-court alley-oop make was just insult to injury
Eric Gibson - January 25, 2012
Should have been offensive goaltending
JRM397 - January 25, 2012
no it should not have been. clanged off the inner rim, and went in.

I don't mean to add insult to injury...
… and Maryland isn’t exactly lighting it up recently…
But Penn State is comically awful at basketball.
Tezcatlipoca - January 25, 2012
You just realizing that?
Been known for awhile.
AriesGD - January 25, 2012
A couple years ago, I correctly picked Penn State to upset North Carolina in the second round...
Tezcatlipoca - January 25, 2012
I believe that was 2001
AriesGD - January 25, 2012
Remember that year we were down 40-12 at the half?
Doubt that happens again, but….
ICEICETHATGUY13 - January 25, 2012
After Aaron Craft hit the 3 that shouldn’t have been, it was obvious there wasn’t gonna be any miracle come back. I mean, WTF was that?
1LisHell - January 25, 2012
I fully expect PSU to fall to 2-10 in the conference looking at the upcoming schedule
But I think it is important that the team finds something to build off of games like this so they can take advantage of an easier stretch in the schedule in mid February where they can pick up some wins.
Actually making some baskets would go a long way in doing so, because right now PSU has the worst shooting percentage of any team in the BCS conferences, so trying to find some easier shots could help that. It may not happen tonight but hopefully going forward.

I am assuming that the black stripe on the jersey...
…below the left shoulder is for JoePa?
TheSwish - January 25, 2012
Yes.
They will have legit patches sewn on for next week’s game.
Eric Gibson - January 25, 2012
Ohio State has retroactively been placed in the quadruple bonus.
