Ever seen anyone carve us up in so many ways like Pickett?

Dave Downey holds Illini single game record with 53 points. Don’t know who holds the record for most points against us, but Pickett is on a pretty strong glide path.

A fact Dave Downey made really sure everyone remembered.

we should’ve played with a slower pace from the start against a team like penn state but it’s too late for that now

Remember in 2002 when we had a great year but went to Bloomington and just randomly lost by 30 because IU couldn’t miss? Let’s hope this is that and a Sweet Sixteen matchup is in our future.

Another disappointing effort. I expected them to lose this game. But I also expected them to compete. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Penn State is going to win 5 of 6 down the stretch, make the first four and then lay bricks to get eliminated. Just how these things go.

How did Wisky beat these guys in Happy Valley? There has to be something Illinois is doing on D that they notice every time, like a pitcher tipping their pitches. 🤷‍♂️

Hey, Brad, in case you need some instructions on building a Pickett fence:

I don't see a hero on the horizon, just putting the time in right now.

Where’s the full court press? Where’s the pressure on the ball? Where’s the flippen defense???

We seem to only press if behind in the last 2 minutes. The girls don't press either and it is to their detriment. Put it on and take it off.

This may be the most frustrating season of Illini B-ball i've witnessed since the late 1970's. Late Bruce teams were predictable. Groce teams, the same. But this team...so many ups and downs. It's like they have never played together before!

So Pickett slaps Epps hand away and it's a foul on Epps?
In case the refs didn't notice, PSU doesn't need any help tonight.

looks like Von McDade had 50 for UW-Milwaukee against us in 1990. had 9 threes

I don’t think it’s poor effort. I think they are coached todo certain things and live n die giving up ‘hard twos’ but they are nailing em
