Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[Jimbo]

They’re controlling the pace of play. Wish we could speed them up. They’ll win at this tempo.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Our inability to keep opponent's guards at least a little bit in checks is frustrating.

Shrewsberry is to Underwood as Underwood is to Howard.

You just heard the difference in philosophy from Shrewsberry's mouth...one possession at a time!!

 

[New Creation]

Glad MM is going to the rim

 

[Illini8420]

Keep attacking the basket Mayer.

Who did they call that foul on?

Not really. Howard has never beaten Underwood.

Penn State is just a smarter team. We’re lucky they don’t recruit better because if they did they’d be a powerhouse

They usually take good care of the ball and are one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the country. However, excluding games against us, they were 8 and 10 in wins/losses in the BIG. So, other BIG teams have found ways to win against them.

Terrible, terrible call on goode

 

[New Creation]

Who did they call that foul on?

Luke. And then he just got his second foul…

 

[Rudd21]

Hard to be good without guards that can push. Our tall all wing lineup isn’t going to cut it

 

[Illini8420]

I don’t understand why Mayer isn’t going to the hole every time. They don’t have anyone that can guard him down there

 

[skyIdub]

PSU is just a bad coaching match up for Brad.. I think PSU coach is his cryptinight. And PSU recruits shooters. if you can't shoot you aren't recruit by PSU..

not sure if this is true, but appears that way.. against us any way.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Big 3 from TSJ

 

[New Creation]

PSU finding Mismatches on Offense left and right

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Our guards just can't keep another teams guards out of the paint. It's a layup drill.

Because he hates doing it tbh. Said in the werner interview he drives as last resort.

 

[New Creation]

really TSJ? why shoot that second 3 ??

 

[Coop70]

Jackin up 3's. Dammit!

Sad...but I don't see this Illini team ever beating PSU this year....they have the perfect weapons to get the job done.

Gotta tighten up this defense
