Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[LoveLovie]

At least these guys won’t be in the tournament

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Oh my god fight through the screen. You can't give Pickett any room.

 

[Icy veins]

Craziest shooting performance by any team this year by far

 

[walzon]

this is absolutely unfair right now how good Pickett looks you can't be serious

 

[blife]

Why in the F$&# are we going under screens all night

 

[skyIdub]

This is what happens when you don't make scorers uncomfortable. Get a bench player in there and start getting physical with him. At this point you live with the FT's.

 

[BBlock24]

A guy gets hot. What can you do? Have to make someone else beat you.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Gotta have some pride if you are on Pickett at this point. He’s going to hang 25 on us in the first half.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I don’t think we’re winning if they shoot 65%/60%

 

[NarrowJ]

I'm not sure what to say.

Uh.

We're only down 9?

 

[21ChampaignSt]

Like, what do you do? Unreal.

 

[Jimbo]

In the old days Pickett would get fouled hard at some point.

 

[New Creation]

so jalen Pickett is just going to beat us by himself?

 

[walzon]

our only hope now is for Pickett to start missing and his team is not able to match up

 

[Kinkyfish]

Waving the white flag…….kidding

 

[KCBassin]

I would foul Pickett every trip

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Interestingly Pickett is a decent but not great 3 point shooter. Unfortunately just PSU's night. That said, need to be within 5ft of him.

 

[State of Chicago]

I don’t think I can continue to watch this BS. Wtf is going on with Pickett.

 

[Clngpl94]

This is exactly how the game at SFC went... we better turn our defense up!! LFG #HTTO

 

[IlliniForceOne]

It’s a miracle that we are only down 5.

 

[jumpingjack]

Winter gonna get a flagrant there??

 

[New Creation]

I'm not sure what to say.

Uh.

We're only down 9?

They have 33 with 8:30 to go

 

[alaskaillini]

It’s a miracle that we are only down 5.

Exactly what I was going to post.

 

[BRucks]

WHEN WILL THEY MISS

When we defend them?

 

[walzon]

don't panic....keep attacking them and tighten up on D....if they hit every single 3 they get then they probably deserve to win anyways....
