Slim hopes for Big Ten title fall flat

The same Illini team that manhandled Purdue 66-48 10 days ago returned home after two erratic road wins and (1) produced two points in the first 7 1/2 minutes, (2) failed to shoot a free throw for the first time in the 47-year history of the Assembly Hall, (3) closed a miserable effort with four points in the last 10 minutes and (4) lost 38-33 in the biggest dud since 1947 when the Whiz Kids, returning from World War II, lost to Minnesota 33-31.
"I've never, ever been in a low-scoring game like this," Penn State coach Ed DeChellis said. "For me, this was uncharted water. We set the game back a few years."
