Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[BBlock24]

Offense isn’t a problem. It’s a combo of unconscious shooting / poor defense by Illinois.

 

[mydosburns]

I don't say this much but we need to slow the pace down.

I'm gonna be buying a lot of Ty Rodgers swag over the next couple years, aren't I?

 

[hoopsfan47]

PSU making Ty's party irrelevant.

Melendez sighting

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

Defense hasn’t been great but also they are just shooting at a ridiculous level

 

[SaintLIllini]

at least our offense isn’t struggling this game is not over but we gotta stop pickett somehow

 

[grantlab]

I feel like we, for the most part, have taken better shots / have gotten better looks. I’ve never seen a team this lights out. What are we supposed to do. I attribute 7 or 8 points to us completely blowing it on defense.

Epps is getting picked apart right now. He is too little out there on D. Need Harris badly in the second half for the length out on the perimeter

 

[GallopingGhost]

Well. I thought they couldn’t possibly shoot better than last time and here we are. We need another Rutgers-like performance 2nd half to have a ghost of a chance.

 

[New Creation]

TY rogers is a dawg. We need 4 more players like him.

 

[alaskaillini]

Wasn’t a problem against us.

They are 1-7 - we were their only win.

 

[Icy veins]

Goaltend???????

 

[PNWIllini]

Looked like a legit block. Reffing to the scoreboard

 

[Flyin' Illini]

In what world is that a goaltend??

 

[DB11Headband]

We have given up 47 and 53 in the 1H against Penn State this year.

 

[skyIdub]

Not goaltending. Carsten is hot garbage.

 

[BRucks]

That is not a goal tend

 

[SaintLIllini]

 

[Epsilon]

Not a goal tend

 

[Icy veins]

Penn state doesn't need help from the refs but they're getting it

 

[azillini1]

they beat us on the road

They also beat Michigan and Indiana at home (PSU home court) by nearly 20 points. I believe their only BIG road win is against us.

 

[jumpingjack]

NO @#_+($ing WAY should that be getting called.
NO way.

 

[21ChampaignSt]

Perfect example of a ref getting caught up in the moment.

 

[wettsten]

I don't understand. is our 3pt defense that bad or are they just making everything that they heave up there?
