Oh, it's those f'n guys.

How is that every team we play seems to rain in contested threes? WTF?

 

[buckeyesin07]

Wow. PSU is on a 19-3 run.

I'm sure Matta would pay good money for that answer... still it's less frustrating than watching them play 34 seconds of shutdown D and then not boxing out and giving up an easy put back.

Good question. I hate to be that fan who always looks at the negative side of things, but case in point is that PSU got the Illinois team that scored 33 points in an entire game, and we got the Illinois team that shot 60% from the field and over 50% from three point land.

 

[BB73]

PSu takes a lead at 23-22.

Dallas splits a pair of FTs.

23-23.

 

[BB73]

Cornley with a baseline J over Turner.

Nice drive by Simmons to tie it at 25 with a left layup.

 

[fourteenandoh]

Oh Dallas....

 

[bkochmc]

Nice pull up jumper by Buford. He has mastered a lost art...

 

[BB73]

Dallas called for a charge going through Jones.

Buford with a pullup J after a turnover on a baseline trap.

Jones ties it on an off-balance inside banker.

Turnover as Mullens didn't have his hands ready underneath.

27-27, under 4 minute TV timeout.

Exactly. These days it seems everyone shoots threes and layups. The 3 point arc is too close, so we get 25+ launches per game. It's also one reason why mid-majors have gotten more competitive.

Anyway, rant over for now. Bucks need this one, badly.

 

[BB73]

Bad break as Tuner gets a rebound, lands on a PSU foot, and steps on the line. Pringle scores, 27-29.

Mullens with an offensive board, Diebs misses a deep 3.

Turner fouls Cornley in the lane. Shooting 2 - splits them.

27-30 with 2 minutes left in the half.

 

[BB73]

BJ with a jam on the inbounds pass!

29-30.

Simmopns with a 3 I didn't want him to take - he hit it.

32-30 at the half.

 

[CookyPuss]

Man, I thought Mullens was going to rip the rim off on that jam!

 

[bkochmc]

Nice finish to the half to regain the lead. They need to come out in the second half with lots of intensity.

it was a good idea to get Evan off of the court when they did. Not really sure why Evan gets drawn into so much garbage on the court. I still recall him NEEDING to get the last shot on a little bump/hand skirmish against Northwestern. He also had to be given a stern waring by the official for getting into it with a courtside fan.

I can't even imagine what happens at the next level....he needs to get control of himself.
