Beilein is clearly frustrated at this team, it started in the preseason saying they were not as far a long as he had hoped. The freshman clearly are slow to grasp the offense. Walton is injured so I want to give him a bit of a pass. I do like some of the young pieces but this year is a shit show. I was at the open practice and my 2 friends and I got a pic with john B. As we walked away my buddy said "should be another good year huh coach" and he replied "well when you lose some of the guys we did it hurts. It's not going to be easy". I knew from the look on his face we were in trouble. Also I stated earlier in this thread that at that practice that donnal looked robotic is the post and cement footed. Also I thought Doyle looked a lot more athletic. Can't beileve with as much hype as donnal got last year playing on the scout team. I also wouldn't be surprised to see him eventually transfer if he fails to put on size because he just gets shoved around down there. Any team with a true big should just hammer the ball down low.

Penn State should beat us tonight unless Walton/Levert/Irvin magically return to early season form.

the problem with being so young is, im not sure how many schollies they'll even have. My understanding is that (barring a Horford-style transfer out of the program) they have one scholarship for next year with no real candidate for that spot. Beilein & Co. roster development for the (long term) win! Until then...

Wait, we won? I had forgotten the game was on and read the posts in this thread. I just went to EPSN with my butt puckered in anticipation of the worst and was pleasantly surprised. In fact, I checked another site to make sure it wasn't a typo.

In fact, I checked another site to make sure it wasn't a typo. SOMWBT Shooting was a lot better but it was an ugly game. Lots of turnovers, missed easy layups, etc. Irvin's shot looked good which is encouraging. I don't get why Walton can jump over the rim for a rebound but is too hurt to make layup.

Is there anything more depressing than Penn State basketball? Half empty arena, plain white uniforms, always bad...I don't know how they get anyone to play there especially when you have the big 5 in philly and Pitt.

0-8 from 3 in the first half, but only down down 2.

This team is really tough to watch after the last two years.

Glad I recorded it. After 2 mins into the 2nd half- I said fuck it and looked at the final score... And saved myself an hour and half of frustration. Irvin is not Stauskas. He is a supportive role player at best. He can't dribble and can't pass- evident in all of his turnovers and 15 assists in the whole season. He also plays lazy on D. Levert has regressed- mainly because he didn't improve. It looks like he felt he was just going to inherit the MVP role without realizing he would have to work for it. Now that the best defenders are on him... His offensive game has been exposed. Beatlejuice is probably the worst point guard I've seen on this team since Stuckey was drafted by the Pistons. A shoot first PG that thinks he is Tres Burke, but without the ball skill, or accuracy. He passes up so many fucking assist opportunities because passing is an after thought for him. I see him physically look off guys all the time... Especially on fast breaks. This team is the worst in fast breaks... 2 on 1, 3 on 1, 5 on 1.... Doesn't matter- whoever has the ball is going coast to coast and not passing. Doyle is lost when he has the ball in the post and Donnel needs to go to the MAC.
This is the biggest grouping of over entitled role players I have ever seen.

Everyone is using the young excuse, but I really don't see much upside in this group. Seems like Beilein's recruiting luck has turned.
