Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[Mr. Roberts]

Apparently you still can get an offensive foul. On the road, anyway.

 

[azillini1]

Ill with 12 TO's vs 5 for PSU. CH with 5 TO's.

 

[Jon]

lmao instant Kern bucket.

 

[madillini4]

Lay up lay up lay up lay up lay up lay up

 

[logjam]

Even Bardo criticizing our defense. We will not beat teams in March playing with this defense

We don't seem to foul out alot...that is usually good...we can ratchet up the defense a few notches I still think...

 

[skyIdub]

Jfc that's not a charge.

 

[HailtotheChief]

It would be really nice to have a point guard

Dinask has 6 assist isn't the problem. Our D giving up.lay ups is.

 

[FloridaMan]

Effing ridiculous

 

[BRucks]

Time out?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wow... 4th on Ty... Did not see them calling an offensive foul on that this game. Boy oh boy

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Kern having the game of his life against us. A tale as old as time.

Ok, we have to learn this and I'm not directing thos solely at you. When this happens multiple times....IT'S US!!! We're not guarding. Hard stop.

 

[Coop70]

This will end in tears

 

[thehass]

Got to get our heads out of our a--.

 

[BBlock24]

They just cannot pull away.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Lay up lay up lay up lay up lay up lay up

three

 

[logjam]

The 2nd half seems to be taking a long time...

 

[Chad Fleck]

The polar opposite of the infamous 38-33 game.

But exactly the same basic problem.

Namely, crappy basketball.

 

[Jon]

can't defend, can't take care of the ball. easiest way to lose a game

 

[Deep]

They just cannot pull away.

Ped state has all the momentum right now. We have let them get confidence and they are just getting layup after layup

 

[LoveLovie]

Hawkins 5 turnovers

 

[TheodoreRex]

14 TO's, PSU shooting 56%, Kern JR. with a career game 11-15 for 24 points, and some of the worst defense I've ever seen an Illinois team play.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Just one of those B1G conference games in February where you gotta find a way to win and then never think about it ever again.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Who can stop the almighty…checks notes…Nick Kern?

 

[BleedingOrange79]

The allowed physicality of the game and the !!!! floor is really hurting us

 

[WyattEarp]

Put your foot on the gas! I swear I don’t understand why, why, why Illinois subs and blows big leads! Can somebody explain why we blow big leads more than not.

Cannot get enough stops to capitalize on said stops on the other end.

Lack of focus, consistency, and general flakiness…also our defense has more holes than Swiss cheese.
