Covering Penn State Basketball recruiting, games, and giving my opinion. Record(16-17) Conference(9-11) Not pennstatecbb on burner ball discord/on3 board.
Priority number 1 for Penn State basketball is:
Keep Kanye Clary in blue and white.
That means keep showing up to the games and giving your full support. He will demand some NIL money which is well deserved but other programs are going to call him. We cannot let him leave.
We are a bad loss to Bucknell and a ref screw job away from being 16-12 and we r still 14-14 with only 3 games left. No matter how this first season ends I think Rhoades blew us away. Team could be dirty if everyone comes back next year!
Someone I think went under looked yesterday was Lilley. He really came in and gave great minutes. He did everything he was supposed to do and I’m not sure we win last night if Lilley came in and laid an egg. Looks to be a viable piece of the roster for the rest of this season!
Thankful I got to watch another year of PSU bball but not the best way to end it. Thanks to Wahab, RayQ and even Leo. Transfer portal awaits and possibly NIT(prob not). Team should be vastly improved going into year 2 of Rhoades tenure. Please Puff and Ace come back.🦁🦁
So if Rec Hall goes great and looks amazing and clearly helps the team win more than the bjc and it seems usable, why not move back and make the environment better. Sadly I won’t be able to watch the game, have a game of my own at 7.😔
Want to thank everyone for 150 followers and am thankful you guys enjoy Penn State basketball as much as I do. Here for the long run and hope to find more people. Love you guys!!

Take me back to the night Penn State beat A&M and Andrew Funk went ballistic. It is probably up there with some of Penn States best moments since 2020. I miss Funk, Pickett, Dread and Lundy but glad we have who we do right now. The future is built for this team!!!

I thought coming into the year the offense would be hard to watch. It has been anything but that, certain times it isn’t good but what team doesn’t have that. Very impressed in year one for Coach Rhoades!
Penn State's 87-point effort against Wisconsin earlier in the week was the most points that the Badgers allowed since they lost at Arizona in December.

I HATE IOWA and PAYTON SANDFORT. Wish we could’ve hit a couple more threes and we probably would’ve won. Didn’t help that Iowa was in the bonus before the first media timeout and we had 0 fouls for that point but it’s not always on the refs. Sandfort is a stat padder.

Question: Should Lamar Stevens and Jalen Pickett have their jerseys retired? I’m pretty much all in on Lamar, not sure of Pickett just because he only played 2 years but is easily one of the programs best players. What do you think?
Good finish to the game. Onto tmr vs Indiana, looking to go 3-0 on the season against them. Game is supposed to start at 8, don’t see that happening will prob be about 8:30 or so.
Just some thoughts about Kanye
I still believe he is a good kid and has a great future but with the state of cbb sometimes this will happen and Rhoades wasn’t gonna put up with it any longer. Kanye must’ve said or done something that damaged the relationship beyond repair.
