Illinois @ PSU - Let's go Illini!

[G- RUnit]

huh?

huh?

Do you think NCAA is going to send two B1G teams to Albany? Isn’t one B1G representative likely? Would like it to be Rutgers over PSU. PSU loss helps RU in that goal.

There could be 11 big 10 schools. Its not going to be easy sorting them out

Also the schools in Albany do not have to be from the same regional pod

 

[Rutgers56_rivals]

I’m not rooting for State Penn ever, in anything, because it’s a psychotic cult.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Count me as a fan of this all access stuff too

 

[MadRU]

Giorgi is the guy that lit us up last season, different player this year on both sides of the ball.

 

[MadRU]

First FBomb

 

[OntheBanks]

FYI Tonights game on FoX Sports will have both coaches mic'd up as part of an all-access game. Could be fun to listen to and get some insight from the coaches.

I hate it. Besides the coaches you get to hear more of the crowd noise. Makes you think that PSU fans are louder than the RAC.

 

[zebnatto]

Just turned game on. Instinctively rooting against PSU.

 

[MadRU]

Purdue at Wisconsin started

 

[RUNYC13]

Rooting for Illinois...not really sure why. Deep hatred of all things PSU playing a role.

Kinda hate Illinois as well.

 

[MadRU]

Watkins has to be T’d up for that.

 

[MadRU]

Wow Frazier misses both technicals. 88% FT shooter. Illinois by 4 at the half

 

[shields]

Go Illinois.

 

[DHajekRC84]

All access is pretty cool

I think it sucks. My ability to watch the action is 70%, I have 2 big sections of watching coaches over coach on the sidelines cause they know that they are on camera, and I have 3 different audio feeds talking over each other and can't hear a good consise accounting of the game.
Oh, and to forget that phoney Sound LED graphic they use.

no adjustment on the 2nd. wow that was bad. could be +6.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Go Illinois.

PSu isn't going anywhere on the NET and we need Illinios to stay up here. We don't play them anymore in the reg season.
Wouldn't mind PSU having some lack of confidence lately with us coming in. Streak over. They need some rough water.. (I hope)

I would prefer that the only go to the coaches during timeouts play stoppages at halftime, not when the action is going on

now THAT would be great. :ThumbsUp

I like the all access as something new. Re: who to root for in these games, I think Purdue is in big trouble if they don't get some more wins. They do finish with three of their last four at home, but if they lose tonight and go 2-2 in their last four, they will be 16-15 heading to the B1G. I think they need three+ wins or a long B1G run to dance, regardless of metrics.

I feel confident in our chances at Wisconsin Sunday.

PSU vs Illinois - either winner has its advantages. If PSU loses and we beat them next week, we could finish ahead of them. If Illinois loses, that helps our chances of staying ahead of them. Illinois has a couple of winnable games next with Nebraska and Northwestern.

 

[S_Janowski]

Penn State home court is soooo bad. It feels and sounds like low level D1 arena.

 

[BillyC80]

Good game with evenly matched teams. IL looking good, up 48-43 with 8:13 to go.

 

[MadRU]

Glad Ayo missed our game. These conference games are great.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Glad Ayo missed our game. These conference games are great.

Was thinking the same. We dodged a bullet.

 

[shields]

We played them without Geo and lost by 3.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Penn State home court is soooo bad. It feels and sounds like low level D1 arena.

yup. With random people screaming, non stop ridiculous PA noise and that stupid cat roar. Cheesy as hell. I’ll take the RAC and our band every day of the week.

 

[BillyC80]

Underwood is the master of the one-word coaching method.

 

[RUTBAY1]

Was thinking the same. We dodged a bullet.

He played in Champaign. We were missing Geo, our closer. Tie score with 2 min left. 3 point win for the Illini.

 

[hoquat63]

I’m up 6 1:46 left - now 4 with 1:33

Of course but where R they sending BIG East Champ? Got to figure one of Nova/Hall. Leaves three spots. One from Big Ten? A10 If Rhode? Ivy?

 

[MadRU]

Illinois went into delay too early imho. Let’s see how it plays out but last few possessions came up empty. 4 point game now.

 

[hoquat63]

2 now with 23 left IL with ball

 

[RUnTeX]

The WE ARE on the court is dumb. That is all.

Oh, and FPS.

 

[BillyC80]

Why didn’t PSU foul? It would have been 1 and 1.

 

[Shell21]

Great bounce back by Illinois . They r a tough team

 

[zappaa]

Ayo is crazy good

 

[hoquat63]

Why didn’t PSU foul? It would have been 1 and 1.

Unbelievable

 

[MadRU]

Why didn’t PSU foul? It would have been 1 and 1.

Was a 2 point game. Stop and score. Didn’t stop. Illinois wins

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Illinois likes one big man. Giorgi not used as much anymore. Maybe he wants to come home?

 

[BillyC80]

I wonder if this win will put IL back into the top 30 in NET, and make our win against them a Quad 1.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

And if Illinois can beat them in PA.. so can we!
