Parakeet Jones Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I think not losing last night was enough to punch our ticket. Let's win tonight, assuming the game gets played, and improve seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn State's seniors did it for three years prior to this one, so they should be used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1215 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Need to put smith on Stevens and stick to him like glue from minute one. Then on his time out rotate race and hunter and tjd. Smiths defense on him changed the last game after the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierMama Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 This has been such a weird 24 hours I really think this could be a situation where Penn State starts really slowly and a game under our belts could really help. As long as we don't have a big drought and give up a lead 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I can't believe they are proceeding. One would think watching Fred go down last night mid game that they dodged a bullet. Now they are going to go ahead and play games. So we are ok putting these non-paid athletes at risk but once they start making money they are protected? Who is looking out for the players? They don't have a union...will they get their scholarship revoked if they refuse to play? NCAA should at the minimum suspend things. Funny how the other college sports are getting suspended but the money maker....we must go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Vegas took a long time posting their odds for our game with PSU. Finally installed IU as a 2 point dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you noted the paid players (ie I mean NBA, not the Kansas, LSU etc players) aren’t playing but beyond that the universities have determined that students should not go to class. OK....universities don’t want to risk our kids in class together but are ok with the basketball players flying to locations around the country and competing? Aside from the potential health risks I just don’t think the optics will allow the tourney to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaybobHoosier Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 If the games are played today, hope everyone is safe and healthy afterwards. I’m surprised it may still happen, but we will see. If the game is played, hope like heck IU can contain Stevens and keep them from getting hot from deep. I like our chances so we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard several times on tv on different networks, that for the college games, there are tv obligations that have to be considered before games get cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Question: Does anyone think the NBA decision would have been different if the timing coincided with their championship tournament/playoffs? That's what is different about these college games... its is the end of the season and the biggest media asset. Not true for the NBA at this moment.

madmax Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 At this point, you have to imagine the games would already have been canceled if they were going to be. First game tips in 45 minutes meaning players/staff are at the arena and have been for some time. I think If they were gonna cancel today’s games it probably would’ve already happened.

The optics will be that tv and NCAA $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ are more important than the athletes. Unless things dramatically change in the next few days my money is on the tourney being cancelled.
