3/16 Games

I wouldn't mind seeing this Penn State team make a run to the Sweet Sixteen. They're fun to watch and they'll be back in the basement next year anyway once their coach leaves and most of their good players graduate.

Go NKU! Hoping to seeing the Chappelle gif tonight.

Expect Shrewsberry to get while the getting is good. They have 8 seniors and super seniors on this team which includes all the contributors. Next year is a rebuild for whomever is coaching PSU.

The day could be redeemed if Northern Ky wins

Aggies feeling the full wrath of Penn State.

I'm afraid I'm going to jinx it if I switch over to that game, so I'm sticking with Penn State, lol.

I just get a perverse enjoyment of watching Penn State do to other teams what they did to us...

Root for Northwestern. Illinois schools deserve our support, especially if our own school can't perform

Penn State again showing the value of experienced guards who can shoot. We need some.

This Penn State team is just salve I needed to cleanse my basketball sense I lost watching that mess from earlier.

Louisana storming back against Tennessee

Edit: Nevermind, think I jinxed it

funk is automatic from three. I can see this PSU team going fairly far in this tourney. really showing the importance of experienced older players. Shrewsberry seems to be a great coach as well

eas23 · Mar 16, 2023

Northern KY is 5-33 from 3 yet was competitive throughout. Super weird game.

alaskaillini · Mar 16, 2023

Funk with 6 threes with 13 minutes to go.

grantlab · Mar 16, 2023

Can Funk transfer here next year? Asking for a friend.

Texas head coach was not looking forward to what’s coming on Saturday from Pickett and company….

Sadly he can not, but the good news is he is out of eligibility so he won't be playing against us anymore either.

It’s (next year) also an opportunity for him to show he can make something out of nothing … which would up his value immeasurably.

IllinoisFan733 · Mar 16, 2023

Is it just me, is that a Courtney Green sighting in the Penn St game?

If so, confirmed he is terrible. Made so many phantom and calls where he was out of position and he didn’t have the view to make the call.

There was a lot of sleep walking by Houston. When Houston's defense buckled down for a stretch, they built a decent lead. Then they went back to sleepwalking and lost most of it.

They need to wake up by Saturday so they can knock Bruce Pearl's a$$ out of this tourney!

As frustrating as the IDKWTI fiasco was and how much ill will I still have towards Sampscum, it's nothing compared to Pearl. In the end, Sampson torpedoed Indiana's program with his actions for a good four years or so, while Pearl torpedoed our program with his actions.

I'm all for rooting for Northwestern. At least they play team basketball and actually have a PG. Watch them give UCLA a game
