Penn State is giving Illinois all it can handle in Champaign. Sunday will not be easy.
Agree, been concerned about this game for a long time especially now that it really means something. We don't match up that well with them for whatever reason and the pressure will certainly be on us. Thanks god we are at the RAC, but very concerned.

What is our best scenario for Penn States state of mind for our game? They pull off the upset? Lose a close one or they get rolled in the 2nd half?

I would actually say them winning would be the best case, getting blown out a close 2nd. Losing a close one I think worst case as would make them the most hungry.

The Penn St effort is a result of Nebraska going into Penn St and beating the bricks off them by over 30 ended up a 23 pt loss at home. Kids always respond strong the game after a blowout loss with better effort next game.

You knew after the way they played against Nebraska, they would come out strong. Mich St is struggling to finish the season,

After the way Penn St got handle against Nebraska they should give a fight to Illinois tonight
Penn State with 1 point lead over Illinois at the half.
PSU with 5 threes.

Always hard to know how these outcomes translate but I think your thinking is as good as any. Them winning on the road at Illinois would definitely keep our guys focused. The pundits are thinking we definitely win this game. Andy Katz made it sound like a foregone conclusion last night on the BIG Show. I know it's because he is on our bandwagon and has been pushing the positive narrative that we are now in, but maybe Penn State pulling off the upset is the impetus to keep us more focused. Not that we need it really cause they have handled us well the past couple of years.

How about a triple overtime loss?
Then they bring those tired legs to Jersey Mikes

Sparty sucks. Izzo month my ***.
I’m starting to think so too. Has Izzo lost a step? They can’t stop a nosebleed.

They played as easy a conference schedule as possible in terms of who they played twice. OOC they played 3 tough games, were beaten handily in two and beat UConn close.

They have an experienced team and a stud 5* freshman who will be a first rounder. They just can’t play defense.

They have no point guard either.

PSU coming into the RAC right now is our make up chance vs. the Hall. Need to just kick their butts and if we're not ready for that then Pike will gear me from across the court.

Perfect technique by Frazier on that post up. Timed counter contact all below the waist with the PSu player trying to back him up. Not having GH. All low and control. Somebody show and teach that. SD upset effective.

Penn State got screwed on that out of bounds call and the jump ball/foul call. But they have missed way too many shots to win. I think they are 0-7 in the last five minutes.

I'm rooting for Iowa. Which means Michigan will absolutely come back and win
