We are simply awful. These guys couldn't defend a good HS team.

Definitely. Penn State has better talent over all.

How about goal tending.

So, what will be said in the locker room this time?

Shot didn't happen because it was after the buzzer. Also, cannot catch-and-shoot with less than 0.3 seconds left. No goaltending there.

Look, their center, Watkins, is awesome. Need to really clamp down on him.

I actually yelled at the tv during this game. i havent done that in years. We're just sloppy and lack talent.

I don't think we lack talent. Hill, TJL, Kipper, Leron Black all seem talented. JCL and MF as well. The pieces are all there, need coaching to tie it together.

Alas, despite the car dealership's best efforts, I was able to make it back for the second half. Seems Kipper starting didn't really net any major change for us :(

He reminds me of Tisdale—looks good until he plays against competition that is halfway decent. Although he is not the real problem with this team.

just not true for either...
mav had 12 and 11 vs minnesota just a week ago
11 vs NW who is better than this PSU team easily
15 vs MD
15 vs Purdue
18 vs IU

tisdale had plenty of good games vs talented teams as well....such as his last game, double double on KU in the tourney

Compared to Penn State, we lack A LOT of talent.

Illini are no match for Penn St. athletically. Sad to say.

I don't. Finke is soft and can't play d. JCL can shoot sometimes but that's it. Hill is slow and hasnt been knocking down his shot of late, Black is not athletic but can do some things, JCL and Kipper i like but they are not consistent yet. They need more seasoning. But yes, better coaching would help too.
