Pickett is frankly just such a bizzaire player that he allows all sorts of whacky things to work
Big Ten Teams in Tournament Discussion
- Thread starter Hungry Jack
- Start date
As a Purdue fan I'm cheering for all B1G teams but IU. Great win today, Cats! Good luck, hope you knock off UCLA!
Quick review of Penn State's rotation.
Funk grad-transferred in from Bucknell this year and is playing better than he has ever played.
Pickett transferred in from Siena after 3 years there. This is his 2nd year with PSU and his best.
Wynter grad-transferred in from Drexel this year.
Lundy has been with PSU for 4 years and is playing his best basketball.
Dread is in his 5th year with PSU - his minutes are down somewhat.
Henn has played for 5 universities.
Njie and Mahaffey are freshmen.
Shrewsbury has done a heck of a job... but he's losing almost his whole team.... and he can easily take his freshmen with him if he chooses to cash in.

Impressive win by State Penn. They could go far in the tourney.
Big Lundy fan here.
Dread is a PG built like a linebacker. Kinda plays like one.
Pickett's ability to drive into the paint, post up, and dish almost eliminates the need for a big on offense. It's remarkable what he is able to do, and a fit for a lot of defenses that must respect PSU's ability to shoot the long ball.
Henn is a big, fish-smelling oaf.
Wait, Indiana is playing in Albany, NY in a game that starts at 10pm eastern? That's nuts.
Heyyyyyy, that’s not that late. A good couple of times a month I go to bed after midnight.
But I’m a bad boy anyway.
It's one thing to stay up late to watch a game that starts at 7pm on the west coast, but this one's being played in New York. Just seems like the schedule could be set to avoid a late, late game in the eastern time zone.
And sometimes he takes rebounds off the face.
(Airball by DUI guy!)
His #15 looks about 3 inches too high, but he’s got tough proportions.
The knock against Purdue has been the lack of experience in their backcourt, and it's showing tonight.
DUI tough guy is apparently too scared to shoot the ball tonight.
How do you lose to a team that was not supposed to be in the tournament. Smallest team in tourney.
Edey only 1 shot in the last 12 minutes of the game. Glad NU has Collins, good or bad his best players always get shots when needed at end of games.
Let's make the conference proud by beating UCLA tomorrow!
Pretty much Purdue all night

FDU pushed the pace of the game, who ever Edey was covering the got him involved in the offense, Small ball/stretch 4 and 5 has taken Purdue down the last two years of the tournament.
FDU
Net - #301
KenPom - #299
Sagarin - #307
RPI - #285
The 1980 USSR ice hockey team just called Purdue to tell them they pooped the bed

Purdue had to at least try going zone, if only for a few possessions. Edey "guarding" the 3 point line is pretty self-defeating, captured beautifully in Gato's video clip above.
If your guys aren't used to playing zone. To me tournament is not the time to start.
FDU is used to playing against zone. Merrimack, plays a good match up zone and they faced the 3 times this year.
Kid that Edey was covering only scored 49 points all year. Edey could have done a one man zone, I guess.
But FDU was pushing the ball every chance. Edey got tired.

Kopp looks like he’s about to square up against John McEnroe
As bad as they have done on the road, on neutral court they have tended to do OK
