Great come back by Penn St!
Down goes Illinois!
- Thread starter hawkball55
- Start date
That makes that in Champaign even tougher
Crazy parity in the Big. Not necessarily in a good way. I would have put our chances of winning at Illinois below 5% anyway, but I would guess this makes it even more improbable.
lol, we currently have the longest win streak in the Big -2 games.

Anything can happen. Hoping for a W but expecting an L.
That loss is gonna leave a mark.
As bad as some of our losses have been this year none compare to this meltdown.

Yeah you just can’t foul a 3 point shot with 3 seconds left.
Wow. A 10 point lead with 2:30 left. ESPN gamecast had the ILLINI with a 97% chance of winning. What a collapse.
I turned it off with about a 3 minutes to go. Thought it looked like an IL win
What venue were they playing in and why?

Grabbing your point and running with it, I would’ve gave us a little better odds than that just simply because we are playing a lot better and have some confidence but I still would’ve put us at 15 to 20% tops and now I give us almost no chance…
Of course I called Us losing Michigan state by 20 so there’s that…🤷♂️
Hey how about that @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset is that negative….😀 or is that more of my pragmatism

Illinois angry and PSU confident
Really? He stopped him from coming down but of course Fran sides with the O....
I don't know why Iowa fans would he happy about this. Better they cruised and hit the speed bump at Carver.
Maybe this is the start of their downward spiral......
It absolutely is….😀
I have watched Illinois a few times this year and have a hard time seeing why they're any different than a Michigan State.
They're just as beatable imo.
Shannon is on a tear averaging around 30 pts/game last 6..msu has no one as good. Domask is a very solid #2. Goode is a sniper and Hawkins is athletic and can shoot from the arc.
Clearly #2 team in BIG, imo.
With 37 seconds to go in the game, Illinois led 89-82.
In the final 37 seconds:
* A Terrance Shannon turnover led to a PSU layup.
* Coleman Hawkins missed the front end of a 1 and 1 (potential of 2 pts lost had he made both FTs).
Hawkins got the offensive rebound and was fouled.
* Coleman Hawkins AGAIN missed the front end of a 1 and 1 (potential of 2 pts lost had he made both FTs)
* Coleman Hawkins fouled the PSU 3 pt shooter (PSU made all 3 FTs to win the game 90-89)

Why? Illinois would have taken Iowa lightly but now they won’t? Illinois will simply try harder against their next opponent and unfortunately it just happens it will be Iowa? Penn State will be a more confident team and Iowa happens to play them in the next week? How did that work out for Iowa after they came back and beat Minnesota at home and then went on the road and lost to Maryland? Conversely, why won’t Illinois’s confidence be shaken and make them more susceptible to losing?
Just reporting what he said but i thought the illni player purposely slid to the side to avoid running him over
You are right about Shannon.
In the future he could be on the All Cell Block D team and even, Most Valuable Prisoner.
Coleman Hawkins has never been the smartest playerWith 37 seconds to go in the game, Illinois led 89-82.

Illinois actually had a drive to the hoop and a short 5 ft attempt that rimmed out as the clock expired.
Hawkins was terrible all night and ended on the same note. Not good for Iowa IMO.With 37 seconds to go in the game, Illinois led 89-82.

Agreed...Iowa can beat them.
Jut need our 3 primary guys to show up and maybe one more to over-produce
Getting equitable calls on both ends (probably slim to none in that environment) and winning the rebounding battle would also probably be necessary.
Why?
F-ck Wisconsin that's why!!!
Got away with a blatant travel before he bricked the last 2 FTs. Ball don’t lie
So, you're saying Coleman Hawkins wasn't a star in the final 37 sec.With 37 seconds to go in the game, Illinois led 89-82.

Illannoy thought they had won, and Shannon went into his "all about me offense" to set a personal scoring record. Meanwhile, PSU never gave up...
It's always good when illannoy loses....ALWAYS!
Sometimes you have to just start winning games. Forget the odds and what the experts think. Get after it and do what is needed to win.
Down Goes Frazier! Down Goes Frazier!….oh wait, I think he finally had recently graduated after 9 years in the league….😉
The announcer said last night that Shannon was the most physical player in the conference and takes what he wants.
A little paraphrasing but it sounded like something he had prepared if the situation presented itself 😂
