Congratulations to Penn St basketball beating #4 TTUN for their first Big Ten win of the season. Given their coach's history of overcoming challenges (he was stabbed twice in the neck in 2002) and Penn State's best player's (Tim Frazier) injury, this might be the most entertaining non-Buckeye victory over TTUN since Ohio knocked them out of the NCAA tournament last year. Also, the loss ties TTUN with Ohio St for 4th in the Big Ten.






I rushed on here as soon as I saw this. Was watching my CAPS game and just about shit my pants when I saw that scroll at the bottom.....crazy

I watched this and kept thinking PSU was going to give this one away. It was nice to watch M*chigan fail at life as usual.

My reaction to Michigan's loss can be summed up by this video:
It's true... We really are a bunch of nuts!
Go Bucks!
a huge michigan fan but came on here to see you guys reaction. the mgoblog is one big whine fest right now. couldn't take it any longer. embarassing loss.
I give you balls for showing up here because just about every sports blog is laughing at Michigan and they deserve it today. This is the upset of the year in the B1G! WOW

Well, you guys still got two tourneys! That's where it counts!
You know it's bad when you have to go to a rivals site for relief. lol

I give you credit for showing up as well. I'm not defending Michigan at all (they played like shite), but the refs were calling some ticky tac fouls tonight that really hampered Michigan's game.
BigTen refs are horrible. We all know this.

posted a picture of ol' rosey cheeks.
Edit: and asked what Mike Hart's record against OSU was. I know, I know....shouldn't kick someone while they are down.
Which thread?

I won't laugh too hard since Ohio State has NW next.

How fuck*ing embarrassing for them. Losing to PSU? They (PSU) haven't won a game since when? LMAO at scUM.
PSU's win against Michigan last night was their first Big Ten win since the Crispin brothers left town.
Okay, that's a slight exaggeration . . .
Is it March already?
AHAHAHAHHAHAHA
It's like the hoops version of App St. 34, AACC 32.
Wow.
"Success - it's what you do with what you got" - Woody Hayes
LMAO.
Holy crap. That is freaking amazing
I guess this proves my point. UM is a good team, but they are NOT as good as they think or the media makes them out to be.
HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAH
TSUN sucks! I've been saying all year that they're overrated as hell. They won't get past the round of 32.
Class of 2010.
Can you really even categorize this as a fluke? I mean their other game with PSU was close too! I hope they have to play Akron in the first round

Looks like they didn't read Ramzy's article from the other day...
Or they read it, said F that, and came out firing. Ramzy, changing the world one day at a time.
How firm thy friendship..
I've had this sense of happiness all evening after hearing the news. Maybe it's because Penn State in Basketball is like Appy State in Football? On second thought, Appy State at least won some DII football championships, while Penn State really sucks in Basketball, so this is even worse for TSUN. Anyway, it's a great day to be a Buckeye!
scUM filled their diapers. Wow!
My drab night at work, just became a wonderful night. Aacc losing to penn st.., fantastic.
Here is a funny fact. If the conference seeding were to end tonight. OSU be#4 and would have a tie breaker over Michigan which means Michigan would have to play Penn State in the first round. Dun-Dun-Dun. As long as OSU and Michigan finish with the same record in the next three games, Michigan will be playing Penn State in the BTT. Here is a look at the brackets, courtesy of the guys at Illinoisloyalty.
What does it say when the #4 team in the country is 5th in the Big Ten? Overrated much; Yes!

Thanks for posting this schedule. Obviously there is a good possibility that the seeding will change in the final week and a half. Playing tsun in the 2nd round would be unfortunate, and a tsun, IU, MSU road to the championship would be nearly impossible. I just realized how Wisconsin has a much softer schedule than most of the other good teams in the B1G. They play IU and Michigan one time only this year. Must be nice.
+1 for the timely avatar
Typical Missagain game...............blowing a 15 point lead but lets blame it on the ticky tac fouls that got called that hampered their game...............Couldn't be that Blew plays soft, could it? Too bad the Ohio Bobcats aren't next on their list...........lol
Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.
In all honesty, we need scUM to turn it around. They have MSU and IU still on their schedule. If they can pull off a win, or even two in those games then we could move up into the top 3 in the final standings, assuming we win out or at least 2 of 3. Also, having the 4th ranked team in the country lose to PSU, who was 0-14 in conference play so far, makes the conference look bad. This would be like LSU losing to Arkansas this year in the SEC. Or Florida losing to I don't know Kentucky. Heck, I'm not sure there's an SEC football team on the level of PSU basketball.
That said...hahahahaha. They're averaging a 10 point loss on the road in February?
Can we finally stop the Trey Burke should be national player of the year talk? Guy is good, but his team may get 5th in the conference with a week and a half left. At some point, that matters. He had 6 turnovers yesterday against an awful basketball team. After the game, Burke was quoted as saying he doesn't usually blame the refs, but that people were getting hit in the face and there were no calls. Right, Trey. You lost to a 0-14 team in league because of the refs.
You know what's funny about Burke saying the refs were a factor in the game, 14 other times in conferences games, no one complained. Burke, Deal With It. He had the highest assist to turnover ratio in the nation at 4:1 and he goes out there and has a 1:1 ratio with six assist and six turnovers. Bravo Burke! At some point he needs to accept the reality that refs aren't the excuse. If you don't wanna be in that position, don't put yourself in that position. Guard the three, box out and don't let them drive to the lane. If he wants to blame someone, look in the mirror then his teammate, mainly Stauskas! Michigan has all the talent in the world on offense but no defense. Michigan doesn't always follow its motto, WE ON, on offense but your defense should never be off. Trey Burke and Michigan need to man up before its all over! As for player of the year, just give it to Oladipo because He ON.
I'm usually rational but Michigan deserves the reticule they are getting. Maybe this is karma for him not staying at Penn State.

You know its bad when Michigan is getting trolled by Dicky V.
You damn right, life in the B1G is a nightmare especially for Michigan on the road. Michigan losing to Penn State (WE ARE>WE ON) is embarrassing but we get the last laugh at them. This is right up there with App State...
Throw in getting trolled by Amedeo Della Valle originally posted in skull session, because this just isn't getting enough justice.
Finally, John Beilein hiding his face in shame. I would too. What an embarrassing lost!

Good way to start the day!... Before walking out the door this morning I turned around to see what my 11 year old daughter was cheering about. She was eating a bowl of cereal watching ESPN... She said, "Dad that meatchicken team we don't like got beat again!" I gave her a high 5 and she said OH... Love that Kid! IO

When I watch tsun I think of a couple of things.
1) Yes, Trey Burke and Hardaway are good players.
2) After those two, the team isn't that good.
3) Glenn Robinson is perhaps the most overrated player in the country. He's athletic, but he's bad defensively and disappears in big games.
4) Nik Stauskas can shoot. That's about it. Guy turns it over, and get's lost on defense. He is not the same player in the B1G that he was in November, mostly because he actually has to guard people now.
5) McGary is going to be tough. I hope he leaves for the nba soon, because he has already improved a ton this year for tsun. Athletic, strong, and good hands. He is also tough defensively, as he actually moves his feet on the ball screen.
