Low-scoring debacle of '09 provides incentive for Illini

The 3-0 start in the Big Ten is nice. And Illinois has a solid chance to make it 4-0 against Penn State tonight (8, BTN) in the Nittany Lions' first trip back to Champaign since their infamous 38-33 victory on Feb. 18.

After the teams had combined for 28-for-96 shooting, Penn State coach Ed DeChellis joked that, ''I kept looking at the score. I didn't know what half we were in. Naismith probably rolled over a few times.''
