Week of 1/5 Games Thread

[EmeraldCityIllini]

3/4 of Penn States games to open B1G season have been to MSU, Michigan & Illinois… talk about a brutal opening schedule lol….

Lost to msu by just 4

Kept it sort of interesting with us , they basically won that game based on the chatter on here

And they’ve kept it respectable with Michigan 25 minutes in.

Getting that upset about a road conference win you were in control of all game was always comically stupid.

Psu doesn’t even have Mingo tonight either. Juric taking Morez to school

Penn State v Michigan playing out similar to our game.

 

[Miles Leonard]

I thought the board basically declared our season over after "barely" beating PSU at the Palestra.

And yet here they are in a 6 point game with Michigan, and without Mingo, with 8 minutes left in the game.

It's as if life on the road is never easy.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

PSU is either not bad at all or Michigan is far from unbeatable/on their own planet compared to the rest of the league.

Either way is good for us!

Iowa also looking pretty bad at half to a Minnesota team I don’t think many think highly of.

6 point game! I REALLY hope PSU pulls this off...
As always, Muck Fichigan

Can any of you imagine going to an opposing teams board and engaging during a week when we aren't even playing them?

Good lord.

I'm starting to feel like I should hate Nebraska more. Maybe I'll slide them above Minnesota in my B1G Hate Rank.

it's the fever of being good. honestly when you got that in your blood for the first time it just hits harder. I'm ok with it.

Look at Michigans road scores. They aren’t nearly the same results compared to their home/neutral results. I know I was upset about our result with PSU but mostly because I felt like we got complacent in the second half and did enough to survive but wanted them to have a stronger killer instinct. Definitely was harsh but want us prepared for tougher road games ahead.

 

[LvilleILL1]

This PSU Michigan game is closer than ours was, and they are down their best player.

 

[tcb13]

Morez out

 

[illinifan1987]

For the remainder of this game, there'll be Norez

 

[Bigtex]

The road can be rough in B1G

 

[Miles Leonard]

Morez fouls out.

1 pt game with a minute left.

 

[NarrowJ]

Playing Mara in crunch time is wild, 40% ft shooter

See if he hits these

 

[DeeIL89]

C'mon Penn State! Lol.

 

[derrick6]

I predict PSU loses because of a Juric play….

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Go for the win. Haliburton this thing

 

[illinifan1987]

Game winning 3, please!

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

What a miserable final possession by PSU.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

I mean. Yes. But like go a little quicker

 

[derrick6]

Even worse. No play called by Rhoades lol

 

[illini0440]

Good news is Michigan also sucks after only winning by 2

 

[illinifan1987]

 

[Chad Fleck]

Wild attempt. What was the play exactly?

 

[mysterio2525]
