Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[ImGonnaBeILL]

He plays defense so lazily that him simply making a closeout a few possessions ago was notable.

Sad but true

 

[CDRUSN]

This effort should be enough to put away Penn St, but is far short of the near flawless performance against Mizzou, whose talent is about on par with these Nittany Lions.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Crazy going with a lineup of Jake-Ben-Mirk-Z (alongside Boswell)

If that doesn't tell you the lack of faith they have right now in Petro/Lee, I don't know what will.

Illini are getting away with things tonight because they can against a terrible PSU team.

Why don’t Z get continuation on that pump fake?!

I can actually smell that place when they pan the hallways. It smells like asbestos, wax, lead paint, stale beer, and urine

We’re not at old Kam’s

 

[Illinois_in_MD]

I swear, wide open threes are our kryptonite

Yep...the only reason we're winning is that PSU has been almost as bad.

 

[Calvin]

In the bonus with 10:33 left? Wow

 

[DeeIL89]

We are in the bonus.

 

[skyIdub]

We're gonna shoot 40 FTs tonight aren't we. Game ends at midnight.

 

[punchabove33]

Dam. Why did Brad sit Petro?

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Let’s take advantage of bonus early for once!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Ok, need to make a living at the free throw line these final 10 minutes

 

[illiniguy24]

Why don’t Z get continuation on that pump fake?!

The refs from the ND/Cal game yesterday would’ve counted it

 

[skyIdub]

WHO IS THAT MASKED MAN?

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Z with the flush!

I knew that Wagler was due for a freshman game mentally. He made great plays, but 3 of his 4 fouls were just silly. I'm glad it happened vs Penn State and I'm glad that it didn't occur in a game where Boswell had foul issues.

Hopefully, Petrovic gives some quality minutes so we can show some depth.

*“Jeff Anderson game”

 

[Jon]

Z will play NBA minutes

 

[Epsilon]

Walk

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Davis going to the hoop......

It's always a circus

 

[Jon]

Jake, they don't pass to you so you can drive. Get those feet set and shoot

 

[FloridaMan]

Defense continues to be a huge problem - and will until the end of the year.

Time to get Keaton back in the game.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Lol... The inconsistency of what is and is not a foul with this crew is maddening

 

[eas23]

Z is gassed

 

[TheodoreRex]

PSU is awful and we are just letting them hang around. If we played any solid Big Ten team like this- it'd 100% be a loss.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Maybe stop shooting threes??
