IU - Penn State Post Game

Kudos to Sampson for starting Wilmont, Calloway and Suhr in their final game in Assembly Hall.

Claxton is a special player... IU didn't have anyone who could guard him inside as at one point Geary had 15 of PSU's 19 points. Look out next year.

IU was on fire in the first half shooting 64% from the field including 9-16 from 3 point range for a 43 - 31 advantage at the half. If you don't pressure IU's shooters, they will light you up.

Seeing the bananas in the front row reminded me of this link...

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time

Ben Allen had a strong game... on numerous occasions he kept the ball alive on a rebound to a teammate and played solid position defense inside. Give Sampson the offseason with him and I think he will be a much needed contributor next year.

IU 94 - PSU 63
IU 10-6 and 3rd in the B10 and 20-9 overall

Granted Penn State isn't a strong team, but it is nice to see IU go into the B10 Tourney with some momentum.

Thanks Erik, Earl and Rod, 9 more games left.
