Penn State basketball insider Nate Bauer discusses the loss to Wisconsin with host Thomas Frank Carr. They discuss the growing trend of a different outcome each game between the first and second half for Penn State, the role of the referees in that phenomenon, and what the team needs to do next.
Once again, Penn State started out hot, leading the game 36-30 at halftime. The team looked fast, strong and aggressive, moving the ball around, finding, and hitting good shots. But then, things changed after halftime. Penn State scored only 11 points through the first portion of the second half and accrued several quick fouls. So what happened?
Bauer and T-Frank discuss the first half and the change of what happened after halftime. Then, they discuss the officiating, Wisconsin's admitted change in how they defended star Jalen Pickett, and the final three minutes. Finally, they discuss the charge call against Pickett in the game's final minute.
But it wasn't just outside forces that worked against Penn State in the second half. They discuss the final three minutes of the game and how Penn State didn't deliver in those moments. T-Frank asks Nate if his opinion or expectations for this team have changed, given the new information about this team's ability to hit big shots in big games.
Before moving on, T-Frank wants to readdress an old conversation about Penn State basketball. Can they actually take a step into relevance? The team is still winless on the road at Wisconsin since 1995, and they've lost big games against teams when they had the opportunity to make a statement. So can they finally break through the tried narratives? Bauer and T-Frank discuss how that can happen for this team.
Finally, they preview the upcoming game on Saturday against Nebraska. They discuss the major themes that Bauer expects to come up on Saturday. He also tells fans what the atmosphere should be like this weekend.
