Hard to complain about a win...so I won't. Good job guys.

Hard not to stab your eyes out with a spork after watching that display.

When we were 2-7 it was madness to suggest that we'd be 7-7. I'll take it anyway we can get it.

It is a win. Ugly, but a win. All the way back to 0.500 in conference. Big congrats to the team for that.

....if the fouls ever stop, and the game ends.

chiefcub69 · Feb 21, 2013, 08:30 PM

Ugly, ugly game but we will take the win.

Illini B-Ball Fan · Feb 21, 2013, 08:30 PM

Yeah!!!

FinalFour88 · Feb 21, 2013, 08:32 PM

This was horrible to watch, but I love that we're at 20 wins. At 15-8, I didn't see 20-8 at all.

jmwillini · Feb 21, 2013, 08:34 PM

Confused, watching and it says live with 9.3 seconds left...

U of I 89-05-10 · Feb 21, 2013, 08:35 PM

5 in a row!

MikeThomas4Prez · Feb 21, 2013, 08:35 PM

A win is a win is a win. Cheers to 20.

Warriors1994 · Feb 21, 2013, 08:36 PM

its good to get a win. but i think the word for tonight is disappointing. We were hoping to hit them in the jaw and they really didnt do it

Nothing wrong with an upward trend. It's amazing we managed to score 64 points in that mess of a game.

AEX · Feb 21, 2013, 08:37 PM

I'm with Dayton. So happy to make it back to .500. Will never think about this game again, other than it was a W.

JSpence · Feb 21, 2013, 08:37 PM

Congrats to everyone who stayed up for this regulation 7:15 game.

Go Illini!

IlliNYC · Feb 21, 2013, 08:37 PM

Clawed our way back to 7-7 in conference. Amazing job by the team and coaches.

geneseo · Feb 21, 2013, 08:37 PM

Hard not to track the fouls rather than the score.

RecLeagueHero · Feb 21, 2013, 08:37 PM

.500 in B10 play. Nice turn around!

mdonsbach · Feb 21, 2013, 08:38 PM

Illini nation might have went on melt down if we lost. Barf

We'd have lost this game last year.

The loss against NW at home was easier to watch.

Ransom Stoddard · Feb 21, 2013, 08:38 PM

Considering some of our past games against PSU, this one was a gem. Unbelievable number of fouls called, and too many missed FTs from a couple of our guys--but they stayed with it as PSU kept pushing too come back.

Let's go beat scUM!!
