Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[SaintLIllini]

Shannon got hacked

 

[New Creation]

Our defense has been great according to most metrics. I’m sorry they’re making everything.

Yea, in the first half they were taking almost wide open 3s. They are a good shooting team with D. Great shooting team when left wide open.

Trading baskets, we need stops

 

[New Creation]

Hawkins comes to play. We need to see MM show up sometime tonight

 

[Steelyunk]

At a certain point a team shooting 60% against you isn’t on a heater. You’re just not guarding them.

 

[SaintLIllini]

these refs suxk

Every time you think they’re going to get back in it, Penn State gets back to back buckets.

It’s not trading when they make more

I've counted at least 7 moving screens not called. With a disclaimer that I'm not a B1G referee...

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

I’ve never been a ref. Is it as difficult of a job as they make it seem?

 

[Goillinikobd]

Maybe, but that’s not the Problem

They still are at 63% for the game and 10 of 19 from 3 point range. We look better on defense and offense, but PSU still getting good shots.

 

[1970 John]

Not surprisingly, the few PSU fans here are really into it. Please shut them up.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

It's part of it. If they called a moving screen or two, PSU would have 6 less points and maybe would stop setting them.

Dainja got hacked on that turn around hook, Epps and Coleman are getting worked on defensive end. Epps had his back to driver's, Coleman stood and watched. How about you yell out, Epps turn around! Yikes.

They missed a couple but that’s not why they we are losing
Gotta guard better and hit some of our own good looks.. I mean damn asi type Hawk goes under n boom and finally we hit a 3

[Manual3for4peat]

This is insane. This guy is not this good. When’s he gonna wake up?

 

[spillini]

Carsten is so genuinely terrible at his job lol

 

[blife]

Not picking on Hawkins, but he has gone UNDER every screen tonight and about 90% of the time it ends in a PSU score

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

I haven’t seen defense this bad since the last time we played Penn state

 

[illiniharrison]

I wonder when Pickett will score again? In 3, 2, 1 boom

 

[New Creation]

Pickett with 30

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Honestly Pickett is unguardable right now. Just having an NBA All-Star performance right now. Playing better than Jaden Ivey did against us in the game he went off.

 

[DB11Headband]

Going under screens is negligence. How that hasn’t been addressed is very concerning.
