#18 Ohio State 104, Penn State 69 (final)

I think this may be a very physical game. I know PSU is one of the worst 9if not THE worst) Big Ten teams in conference play, but they have some big boys that will be up for a challenge in an arena that is still trying to find a way to get loud. We are a 20 point fav, but if we dont finish the Lions off, we could be in for a game like Iowa St, or Va Tech.

If Dials can get open underneath and slam a few, this could open up Sullinger and/or Jekel Foster on the perimeter to make good reads and put the game away early in the second half.

I think the light has come on for Sylk...he's having a great game. 23-13 good guys with 12 minutes left in the first.

What's the score?

 

[CrabMan]

39-19

 

[NewYorkBuck]

45-21

This is getting ugly. We are scoring at will.

Do the Bucks even realize that Penn St is on the floor, or are they just playing HORSE from beyond the arc?

This is just silly. They're seeing a 3-ft wide rim right now.

I think we are goin for a 100 pts.

We're playing with tons of energy and forcing PSU into turnover after turnover.

At one point we were 13-15 from the field.

Up 48-23 right now.

 

[sears3820]

PSU has lost 32 straight Big 10 road games.

Might as well chalk it up to 33.

Well, that makes 50. Getting some 'members bounces' off the rim too. Unless it's an airball or a brick, it falls.

 

[sears3820]

7 triples in the first half.


Up 55-27 with 48 seconds left in the half.

 

[sears3820]

Jamelle Cornley is the lone bright spot for the Nittany Lions.

Ron Lewis with another three to double up PSU 58-29 at the half.

 

[Dryden]

We're playing with tons of energy and forcing PSU into turnover after turnover.

And that's what is making this game a joy to watch, even though it's well in hand as the half comes to a close.

Thank you AG for hiring a great, great coach. Ohio State finally might have a basketball team that the football team can be proud of.

What a first half for the Bucks... true, it is Penn State, but anytime you score 58 points in a half you have to be happy with the results.

Very impressive way to start the Big 10 schedule...

Keep it up in the 2nd half!
