When Illinois crams both of them into the same game, as happened Sunday night against Penn State, a close game can turn into a runaway. Penn State, which trailed by four with just seconds to go in the first half, cashed in on an Illini mistake to take a one-point halftime lead, then sped ahead as Illinois suffered a scoring drought of 7:17 to open the second half. The result was a 74-52 victory that kept alive the Nittany Lions’ NCAA Tournament hopes. it wasn’t until the 12:43 mark that Black scored on a hook shot to break a drought that stretched for 8:34 back to the first half. Just seven days ago, Illinois went more than 11 1/2 minutes without a point at Ohio State. woke up this morning thinking I had a bad dream about Illini bb..... :hurl::hurl::hurl: [/QUOTE]
