Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[Jimbo]

Were not gonna catch up shooting threes

 

[NarrowJ]

Every time we get within reach a sequence of random events unfolds and stretches the lead back to 12-14 pts

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

It is really hard for me to complain about officiating. Shannon has shot 10 FTs to Picketts 2 FTs.

That doesn't necessarily say anything about the officiating.

It's been atrocious.

 

[jumpingjack]

Not sure how Rodgers committed the foul... By being boxed out too hard?

 

[blife]

Pickett is getting gifted tons of push offs when he is backing us down the lane.

 

[New Creation]

Chucking up 3 shots ends our chances

That bad shot led to the foul on Rogers. We are in trouble in the NCAA because we will be playing high IQ teams. That is not our strength

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Why's Dain sitting?

 

[Da88]

So evidently you can just shove someone off with all your might and it's not a foul

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Pickett is getting gifted tons of push offs when he is backing us down the lane.

He did that at our place and was successful. Out guards have a tendency to get bullied. That's really what's happened....again.

 

[Illini John]

Instead of continuing to take it to the basket, we decided to try and get back into the game by chucking threes. That is not our strength and now the game is over.

 

[New Creation]

Picket is doing the same thing on repeat and no one can stop him.

Epps now 1 his last 15 I think.

 

[NarrowJ]

Getting to be desperation time now, unfortunately

 

[Goillinikobd]

Are they going to hang 100 on us

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

What has happened to epps 3 point shooting?

 

[PNWIllini]

I would like to see a bit more intelligence in our approach. We’ve been close a couple of times. But we do not seem to understand how to prevent their shooting and complete our comeback.

 

[New Creation]

Picket is doing the same thing on repeat and no one can stop him.

Epps now 1 his last 15 I think.

1-16. Time to stop shooting 3s

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

Wow, this is ugly.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Picket is doing the same thing on repeat and no one can stop him.

He is doing the same thing... pushing off to get open shots.

 

[BRucks]

Why keep chucking 3s?

 

[thehass]

Definitely not our night but it is for psu.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

What was that foul? I’m legitimately asking. Have no idea.

Only way DJ Baldy or Learch will ever make a call for the Illini

 

[Clngpl94]

Guess we can say they'd rather be a 6 seed than a 5 seed?

 

[logjam]

Why's Dain sitting?

Probably resting for next 2 games...

 

[PNWIllini]

That bad shot led to the foul on Rogers. We are in trouble in the NCAA because we will be playing high IQ teams. That is not our strength

Thats really my issue too. BU teams have a history of being schemed against in the tourney.
