Penn State 79, Illinois 76 Postgame

[New Creation]

Beat 3 times by psu? Shews has to go. This can't happen.

yeah.. someone else needs to pay this guy

 

[Jimbo]

I’d bet anything we draw Missouri in the tournament, one and done.

Stopped caring about the BTT about 10 years ago. Rest up and get a good match-up hopefully as a 10 seed

NO EFFORT WHATSOEVER! What is the coaching staff thinking? 2 PENN State in foul trouble, nobody fouls out. For the talent Illinois has, they laid an egg this year! Please lose the next game!

I am disappointed too but please step back from the ledge

One of the biggest reasons this team has been so inconsistent. Not enough shooters. Cannot double Pickett because of their shooting. That why they are a hard matchup for us.

I think we just have a couple of upperclassmen playing hero ball trying to make the league and taking too many poor shots.

That's my hot take.

 

[New Creation]

guess we could get a 10 seed

we should want the 10 seed.. anything higher.. we lose in the first round.. high % we need to be the underdogs in order to win

I don't get why these guys just grind to a halt like they did down the stretch. Zero purpose out there.

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

Can anyone tell me why Penn State turns into Golden State when they play us

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

All I know is that if this team somehow makes the second weekend, I will totally forget all of these frustrating late season losses. Fingers crossed.

 

[D1959]

Anyone want some of those missed 1 and 1 back

 

[logjam]

Really lost momentum when they stopped going down to Dainja and Cohawk...Dainja tech also says goodbye momentum...So Illinois...

 

[skyIdub]

The last 3 teams dominate B1G then fart and fall down in the NCAA.

So I guess this team farts and falls down in the B1G....and wins it all?

We are 100% going to the Sweet 16 now.

 

[Illini8420]

Our lineups with Harris-Rodgers-Hawkins have consistently been our best due to the defense and possessions gained and yet Brad never fully commits to it. Why not? Can any insiders explain? It’s ridiculous at this point and it’s already March

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

we stink

The game thread toxicity carries into the postgame. Fabulous.

What should the reaction be? Excitement and happiness?

I know why they added the Ignore button now.

We are the 2023 verison of the 2022 $cum

 

[JSpence]

Onto the real tournament. Just haven't been enough good moments this year for me to get too excited about our chances. But hey, "We're built for March!"

Is spring break in March? That's the kind of March this team's built for.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

What should the reaction be? Excitement and happiness?

There's about 6 miles of reaction between the hatefulness people express here and excitement and happiness. But a lot of "fans" sure seem to latch on to any reason to hate the team they purport to be supporters of.

 

[Illini in Italy]

Poorest excuse for an ILLINOIS team. Absolutely NO EFFORT at all. BENCH the lazy!

Must be a scUM fan. Go away.

 

[gibb52]

Pretty simple really. Several minute stretch where PSU got good looks and made most of them. At the same time we were disjointed and missed shots, and compounded that by missing free throws.

1 and done in the Dance. Hope I'm wrong.
