ERMAGERD PENN STATE IS UP FIVE.

Oh, how good fleeting glory must feel.

I've a dreadful feeling this is going to go all Bad Luck Brian for the Nits though.....

UM losing this game would be utterly fantastic.

A friend of mine on Facebook has the greatest "rage statuses" that I've ever seen. Whenever Michigan, the Red Wings, or the Packers lose, sheer gold is at hand.

Memo to Michigan: You have to play defense at least half-competently in order to win anything meaningful

nice work Mcgary!!! need a GIF of that asap.

What happened?

kr66osu on 14 Mar 2013 - 2:48pm #

missed a wide open dunk and it wasn't even close

slippy on 14 Mar 2013 - 2:54pm #

Awesome.

LadyBuck on 14 Mar 2013 - 2:54pm #

Welp, that was a fleeting fantasy.

tennbuckeye19 on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:06pm #

Burke is 1-5.

Edit: Since I posted this he's now 3-7

LadyBuck on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:06pm #

Penn State is suckin gso hard, I can't root for them.

tennbuckeye19 on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:09pm #

PSU shooting 50%

UM shooting 39% (have taken 7 more shots than PSU)

PSU 0-3 , UM 4-12 from 3 point range

tennbuckeye19 on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:11pm #

If PSU can keep this close going into halftime, there is hope.

dubjayfootball90 on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:15pm #

oh man, I would love for PSU to shut down scUM in the tourney, that would be beautiful

Firedup on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:15pm #

Glad psu got close to make the second half interesting here at the United Center

tennbuckeye19 on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:17pm #

Hardaway & Burke are a combined 5-17 (29%) with 16 points (3 came from free throws).

LadyBuck on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:35pm #

How was that a foul against Penn Sate?

hodge on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:41pm #

Penn State is so ugly, but somehow they're managing to keep up. This is a fun game to watch.

dubjayfootball90 on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:49pm #

I wish I was watching this game. PSU just needs to keep it close so they are still 'their' in the last few minutes. I really hope they pull this out.

tennbuckeye19 on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:50pm #

Um beginning to take over, ever so slightly.

LadyBuck on 14 Mar 2013 - 3:52pm #

God, this wouldn't even be a game if scUM could just defend. Come on Penn State!

LadyBuck on 14 Mar 2013 - 4:01pm #

God, this game should not be this close.

dubjayfootball90 on 14 Mar 2013 - 4:01pm #

damn, go out for a quick deusky from my stupid little cubicle and scUM up by fourteen. terrible

tennbuckeye19 on 14 Mar 2013 - 4:08pm #

Remember back when this game was close? That was awesome.

LadyBuck on 14 Mar 2013 - 4:17pm #

Well, that was fun while it lasted.

tennbuckeye19 on 14 Mar 2013 - 4:19pm #

I'm not sure what to think about the Wisky-UM game tomorrow. They only met once in the regular season and the game was in Madison. Wisky won the game by 3 in OT.

Jason Staff on 14 Mar 2013 - 4:32pm #

Likewise. I'm struggling to think of who I want to even win in that game. Michigan losing is always fun, but man, the hate for Bo Ryan is so strong.

LadyBuck on 14 Mar 2013 - 4:33pm #

I don't know either. The question is tempo and who will get the most turnovers. Who knows.

ShowThemOhiosHere on 14 Mar 2013 - 4:41pm #

If TSUN plays like they did for most of today, Wisconsin will win tomorrow. If we go off of their only regular season meeting, in Madison where Wisconsin won in OT by 3 after forcing OT via a miracle near-half court shot at the buzzer tied the game, then TSUN should win.

Who I want to win is another damned mystery. On the one hand, anytime TSUN loses, it's great. But then again, I want another crack at them in the tourney title game. OSU beat them at home and should've beaten them up in the whore. I would never be upset with a Wisconsin loss, though I have a feeling Indiana would take care of that on Saturday.
