I think the problem with Kopp is he isn't ready to shoot the ball before he catches the ball. You have to anticipate you are going to get the ball and have your feet and hands readynto shoot on the catch.  If he has time and has his feet set he is a good shooter. A lot of times on the break he will catch it on the run and he drifts on the shot

There was one announcer that was literally pointing it out every time Kopp caught the ball on the wing and didn't shoot it but drove it into traffic for a more contested harder shot. 

Honestly we beat ourselves and our role players look absolutely lost on offense. Kopp Galloway Bates. Woodson seriously took Malik out and put Race in. No joke the momentum absolutely switched in favor of PSU and we could not overcome that again. Just really wish our guys could not be Jekyl and Hyde. Shrewsbury was great. Literally made like difficult on JHS and TJD by doubling. Literally forced our other guys to try and beat us. Just such a letdown. I guess we can try next year.

They had a 3 second call last night on Donta Scott...

I think that's their quota for the decade

Glad to know they met their quota. In the second half if I was Holtman if they don't call a 3 second call I would lose it and either force them to finally call it or get ejected. Maybe that would be the push to get my guys over the line. 

I mean seriously Edey set up camp in the post for 6 seconds! When are they going to call it?

Wow PU is just letting OSU rain the threes and going away from their bread and butter of Edy inside for two. I am wondering if the second half OSU is going to falter from tired legs. I am rooting for and OSU win though. I wonder if Holtman said we didn't do our work during the season so I guess we are going to have to do our work now during the tournament to get into the NCAA tournament. 

Ugh just wouldn't go away! Great win guys! Time to break down PSU film and get ready for them. I hope they have really tired legs. Race needs to find his head it didn't travel with him. He literally almost lost that game single handedly. Here's to hoping OSU has another upset in them. They are desperate and literally playing for their NCAA tourney life. Puck Furdue! May they play the worst game of the year. Also gotta enjoy watching TJD and JHS cause it will be a long while before we get another 1 2 punch like this. 

Seriously get Reneu in

Holy crap Kopp is going to be sporting a shiner!

Time for Reneu to get back in. 

Time for Reese to get foul 5 and end his night early!

And just like that they are back within 6. Ugh! Come on guys do not let up at all or they will be right back in it. 

Ok is it just me or is Reneu passed Race on the depth chart? 

Why can we not hit free throws? Hey we finally hit 1!

We got lucky on a goal tend by TJD. The refs finally missed something in our favor. 

Now we're even. Time to bury them! Keep the foot on the gas and don't let up until you see 0's on the board!

O wow look we get out run beat their d and wide open 3 for our sharpshooter. Hmm...maybe we should do just a pinch more of that rather than letting Maryland get their D set up.

JHS is a really good player, I think we allow him to be too ball dominant sometimes though.

We need to get more from our complementary guys in the 2nd half and next year we need to find some shooting (or a way to get the shots...we are just awful at getting good looks up from 3.)

I think what it is is Maryland has game planned for this to dive down low to clog but then everyone finds the next man on the perimeter to rotate on and stop the 3 point shot cause unless our guys are wide open we are hesitant to shoot. All it takes is a split second for our guys to hesitate and that gives Maryland enough to recover on D. 

Why can Galloway not get a foul called? Next if we actually played perimeter D the way we should they would not be hitting those 3s. I mean our perimeter D has went brain neutral for our guys so far. Come on. This game is easily winnable! Let's go!

I'm not too fond of this lineup. Hope I'm proven wrong.

Wish they would actually call a foul on Reese. If not need to keep feeding it to TJD and force the refs to finally call a foul. 

Tough call on TJD. 

Seriously this is setting up to be an easier path for us. We need to win tonight against Maryland and then tomorrow we play a worn out PSU team that was taken to the wire in overtime. That has already played 2 games in 2 days. Come on guys it is time to bury Maryland tonight and get that monkey off our backs!

Figured I will start this. Game time starts at 9 pm. So I was really hoping Minnesota could pull off an upset but alas they came up short. I don't know why but I think we match up poorly against Maryland. Hopefully we rested enough and healed up some to make a major push to win the B10 tournament for the first time. 

Seriously though can we please get a few bigs over the size of 6'9". I am tired of our bigs being undersized. Also a little more length at the wing would be good.

Hey, I understand... I'm pissed too...

We never really made a run at them in the second half, and I'm disappointed as hell about it...

And to be honest when the camera panned to Race and Trayce on the bench with about 2 minutes to go laughing, I thought, "there's not a thing funny about this." 

I saw that and was thinking what is so funny? You are literally getting smoked at home by 20 points. 20 points! The season isn't over yet. It then panned to JHS and he looked distraught! It seemed like he understood the gravity of the game.
