Players get a win and coaches get a lot of tape of stuff to work on
What an uninspiring win...

The Illini did better than Mich St against PSU at least.
Not pretty but I'll never not feel relieved when we beat Penn St.
See that big Tomi rebound? 8 point win, unacceptable...
I wonder if the betting line went Penn State's way when they announced the ref assignments after it was ridiculously set to start with.
It’s a good thing we played Penn State tonight. But we take our conference road wins with a smile on our face and move on.
Ugly, ugly game. High knees is so bad.
I believe BTN said Wagler was a +21 in 16 minutes at one point.
Edit: finished +17 in 20 minutes.

Any win against that accursed school is good I guess, but yeesh 
Just ugly when refs refuse to swallow the whistle for a moment.
Consistently inconsistent.

Several chances to bury them… Need to clean things up but a win is a win… And wth is going on with Tomi…? Looks soft/disengaged
Nothing is going to change … More 3s …
What we learned:
Team is bad w/o Keaton out there
Staff says Jake at the 2 >>>>>> Petro/Lee [if a lineup of Jake-Ben-Mirk-Tomi doesn't tell you that the staff has no faith in Petro/Lee, nothing will]
Keaton was +17 in 20 minutes played.

That 2nd half was so frustrating, but getting Ws is all that matters. UGLY for sure.
Head scratching effort and game planning in the second half. If not for Wagler and Penn State's pathetic shooting, this is an embarrassing loss.
I wonder if this team ever figures it out.
