Illinois loses at home to PENN STATE

68-64

Wow, melt down in Illini land......

They got absolutely hammered on the boards.

Now we can't rebound either. Credit PSU for taking away the one thing we had some success with. McCamey had a nice game. Randle fouled out w/2 points. Too many nervous turnovers. Meach is dissolving. All my expectations are gone and I hope Web can ride it out.

Penn State was horrible shooting- 36% overall and 22% from 2-point. But they outrebounded Illinois an amazing 39-24.

This is not a fun basketball year for me. If the Illini can beat Indiana this year, that would be all I ask for. It's a tall order, but it would definitely be awesome. Either that or just have J Leman punch out Eric Gordon from the stands.
