Jalen Pickett is fantastic. Top 10 in KenPom POTY race. Probably the 2 best guards in the league in this game in Pickett and Shannon.
Dredd & Pickett give PSU a very good inside/outside duo.
As Katz said ...minny might be the only easy out in the whole league.
We must beat the goofs up there as I think we only play them once.

I don't know if everyone saw Rutgers get hosed out of a win vs OSU the other night. Nm, i see the thread on it.

Illinois goes to 0-2 in the Big Ten. You love to see it.
Looking thru PSU’s non con schedule, it looks like they’ve avoided the 2-3 clunkers they seem to always have which drag them down the rest of the season.
If Lundy and Pickett are on, they’re gonna be a tough game for everyone.

Hawks play at nits on 1/1 after they play 3 cupcakes...much mo for Nits....we better be healthy to have a chance. Tony vs Pickett..bloody matchup.
Yep.....I've been thinking about this match up ever since I saw Pickett play in earlier games this season. Pickett is a tough SOB but so is Tony.....wonderful match up against Pickett. And PS....sure hope Kris is healthy by 1/1.
Can't imagine McCaffery reacting to a question about one of his players like this. Downright disrespectful!
Nebraska had aproximately 15 good looks to take the lead under a minute and couldn't convert.
Little Larry and Courtney Green together shouldn’t happen.
Any other time I would be all about agreeing with this, but Purdue needs to lose a couple conference games.
And considering where the game was at that they just reffed, and Iowa is at home tomorrow evening, why do I have this horrible sinking feeling they'll be together again in Iowa City tomorrow???
Nebraska aside, It was one of the worst calls I can remember ever seeing. Refs have a tough job my biggest issue is seeing refs blow the whistle in anticipation of contact.
The 2 worst refs in the NCAA.
Maybe the conference - or the NCAA, across the board - should look at instituting 1 coach's challenge for situations exactly like that bad call at the end of OT of the PU/NEB game.
And the on-court refs don't get to look at the replay to review, because they'll likely leave the call as they made it to try and save face.
But for cases like this (& the end of the Rutgers/OSU game), do it like in MLB where challenges and reviews are called into a central 'league office'; do the same here. On-court refs then forced to abide by what the 'office' says it should be.
There's bad calls that hurts teams during a game (both squads) - happens every game, sometimes frequently - and then there are bad calls that are very much involved in determining who wins. There needs to be more accountability and leeway to prevent those types of situations where a questionable call (or non-call) directly influences the determination of a game winner.

Nebraska aside, it's hard not to want Hoiberg to have more success. That call was horrible. Don't call it if you didn't see it....but I didn't go back and look again. It was an early whistle, huh?
