Well, looky here! It's the much-anticipated rematch between two historical basketball afterthoughts! You can catch it starting at 1:00 PM ET on ESPNU, or listen to Steve Jones and Dick Jeardi serenade you on the radio (local affiliates, Sirius Ch 113, XM Ch 193). Also, it's Coaches v. Cancer "Band Together Day" at the BJC, so make sure to purchase your $3 'rally towel' if you're going to the game and wave that damn thing.

Typical open thread rules apply: No porn, no racism/homophobia/sexism/trolling, and no links to illegal video feeds.

i have this accounting

exam to study for, so i wont be at the game, please feel free to include as much data on the game as possible

Good luck with that

Which accounting course? 6-3 Nebraska at the first TV timeout. Typical PSU shooting performance thus far (see: lousy). PSU is sporting gray unis though, the same gray unis they wore when they upset Illinois.

HRIM 336

ratios, balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flow, class averages a 63 percent on first exams according to past history so im trying to study a lot haha….i dont mind the georgetown look it seems that our team plays a tad better when we wear them, but it could be the differance from shooting away to home

15-11 PSU, 11:38 in the half
51-33 PSU, around 13 mins left
Oliver is out again

I don’t see the point of having played him the other night. Get him back to full strength before putting him out there. Even if that means shutting him down for the season. They aren’t playing for the Big Ten title.

Does anyone else think

That at the end of the season, Chambers will have a carefrontation with Oliver and let him go?

It's possible, especially if they are able to get a big recruit

It sucks for Billy because he has done a few nice things, especially the Purdue game, but it could be better for his health and for all involved.

^in order to free up a scholarship
His health really worries me.

Poor guy hasn’t had one full season without getting knocked out because of injury. How much can his body take?

Not coming back

Appears that Oliver has played his last game. It’s a shame that he’s had so many problems. Feel bad for the kid. Wish him the best down the road.

PSU on a 7-0 run

Up 25-17 6:45 left first half

Where has this team been most of the season??
Seriously?!

Man, I’m gonna chew somebody out for scheduling my exec meeting during this game. I’m dying to be in the BJC right now.

Too bad they can't play every game at the BJC

Just sayin’…

Yeah,

Do you think it an experience issue or just lack of talent for the big home/away difference?

Both

This team shoots like crap on the road. As for the home / away difference in the B1G, it’s a combination of crowds, changing gyms, and yes, officiating.

A lot of talent at the game.

I thought I saw Austin here. Breneman (sp?) is here. JayPa too.

Franco Harris
Good game for them to visit.
Jeez.

Announcers said Oliver’s career may be done? Really a shame for him, but he’ll always have the Purdue game.

I feel bad for Oliver...

But Purdue game aside, I can’t say I’ll miss him from an on-court perspective. Seemed like a good guy though off it, and I can’t imagine the amount of frustration he went through with the concussions and headaches.

Pretty much this

The guy had his moments, but from a purely on-court point of view, not the world’s biggest loss.

Score?

Don’t have ESPNU, how are we playing?

We're up 51-33. 13:17 left.
...as of 9 minutes ago, according to Onward State's twitter.
PSU up 58-43, 6:24 left
Holy Tim Frazier?!?!

For those of you that can’t see the game, outstanding athletic play on a tip in by number 23. 56-38 State!

That was great. Dude just outjumped everyone.
Just rub it in, thats okay
Chambers is 100% Pure Colombian Awesome.

Screaming at his team and drawing up plays up 18, yelling “I’m not going to stop! I’m not going to stop!”.

Crowd at the BJC

Any idea on how large the home crowd is today? They have exploded on some big moments and sounds like a possible ‘raise the black curtains’ type of atmosphere.

Seems like the lower bowl is pretty filled in.
Thanks

Was a season ticket holder my 4 yrs in UP and always hoping more fans start to fill up the BJC!

Colella has taken 10 three's already

Only hit two of them though. Most were open looks.

and make that 2/11

Let’s go Nick….gotta get Timmy that triple double. 2 assists away.

rumor has it

both brandon austin and geno thorpe are at this game

Didn't see Geno.

Only saw Brandon and presumably his dad. The kid could use some weight.

1/2 isn't bad

Anthony Davis scenario where he might still be growing? and now I’m curious to was there possibly an interview article we should expect to come out on monday? really excited that he was their for a game where tim frazier went off and almost had a triple double

Score update?
FINAL: PSU 67 NEBRASKA 51

Frazier finishes one assist shy of a triple double. They tried a pick and roll with Sasa for the 10th assist, but he was double-teamed and threw up a crappy shot. Box score:

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=320420213

67-51 victory

Frazier with 23, 10 boards, 9 ast

Montana gets ESPN!

Woohoo! Great game!

wow, 13K at the BJC?

I didn’t see the game on TV but the box score says 13K plus… nice to see some mid feb “paying attention” for this team

didn't look

like 13k when i watched the recording of it. the lower bowl wasn’t even filled entirely, crowd seemed pretty loud though
