The gambling thread over on the Hoosier.com Rivals message board is hilarious.After watching Indiana get up on a very avg. PSU suad by 10 in the first half, what happened next is a lesson in what can happen to any team. PSU starts throwing in contested threes and horse shot type layups to take an 18 pt. lead in the last 3 min.
Point is I laugh at posters who say so-and-so team is terrible and WE could/should never lose to them. The fact is that any team is beatable when their opponent is throwing in threes from multiple sources and the basket shrinks for the higher rated one. We should never lose sight of that. If you watched any of that IU/PSU game, it should make any Illini fan leary of playing IU at home. The Hoosiers were having their way and seemingly scoring at will....when all of a sudden, the basketball gods decided they were not going to win today.
That is why the B1G schedule is seemingly interminable and so fatiguing....as well as unpredictable. I see posts saying the Illini should win Sun. because Nebraska is a poor road team. But saying that is folly. Neb. has three terrific shooters and a smart, tough, skilled big. To assure an Illini win, our guys have to focus and execute in all the details...and still might get beat if Husker shots are falling...as Purdue found out.
Sure, smart money will be on the Illini at home...but smart fans will be rooting like banshees to try to lift this Illini team to an inspired performance. That is what it takes, not trash talk...which is a perfect adjective because that is where it belongs.
Hoosiers fall to Nittany Lions by 14 at home.
As schadenfeudelicious as that PSU beating of IU in Bloomington is I worry about playing PSU at Rec Hall in 2-1/2 weeks. A lot.
