tOSU @ Penn State, Thurs 2/27 @ 7p ET, ESPN2

The pedsters had to deal with the refs too. blaming the refs for this performance isn't going to fly.
Not blaming them, just saying they took over the whole game and made it about them and not the game. Crap happens when games are officiated like that. This is the same team lose or make that shot. Might make some noise in tourney because teams can't simulate Craft and Scott. To make it past sweet 16 we are gonna need a combination of matchups with teams with no dominant bigs and someone else besides Ross hitting shots.

By the lofty standards Matta has set, it's forgettable. Swept by Ped Aggy, lost at home to scUM...not much I want to remember so far.
And, let me say, when our "down seasons" still likely get to 25 wins, we're doing pretty well. I'm not on the Fire Matta!!!1!!11! train by any stretch...just saying not much to get excited about so far from this season, and time's running out.

Yeah - you had a guy who ended up 2 for 7 (1 for 6 from 3) shooting your last two shots.

This just isn't a very good basketball teams. When other teams play down to them, they have a shot. When they need to overcome a team playing (slightly) up, they can't do it because there are no true scorers other than Ross and he's a headcase.

That's my biggest problem with this team. 90% of our last second shots are taken by Smith, Scott, or Craft. I'd much rather get the ball in the hands of our best shooter and live with that then take a fall away jumper from any of those.

Well this night could not have gone worse first we lose to Penn State for a sweep and their 1st win in 10 years on their home floor vs us then my other team Kentucky chokes a big one just like us on a ton of missed FT's and loses for the 1st time in 20+ years at home and is swept by Arkansas....man 2012 feels so long ago both teams in the final 4 and 1 winning a title.......neither makes it past the sweet 16 this year would be a major achievement if either made it to the sweet 16.

We don't. A consistent one anyway. Guys get hot at times, but too often the entire team seems like it's been doused with ice water.

And my big problem with this team is someone can get hot then not see the ball for 5 or 10 minutes. Or worse I've seen people start to get hot get pulled in a rotation of players the whole team goes cold and the player sits the bench for 5-10 minutes and then by the time he's inserted back he's cold as well.
