PrintIt's time for another classic hoops brouhaha between Penn State and Illinois, and since words don't do the recent history behind this series justice, I leave you with a YouTube montage below...Oh, btw, the game's at 9:00 PM ET on ESPN2 (or if you don't have a TV, there's always Sirius Ch 135, XM Ch 193, or your local radio affiliate), and the usual open thread rules apply (which I really don't feel like writing out at the moment). Enjoy.

Penn State has no buisness winning this game
Which means it should be real close and down to the wire affair, hopefully the good guys will pull one out here.

I wouldn't go that far.
Illinois isn’t that good. Vegas only has them as a 3 pt favorite last I checked.
That kid who tackled Talor Battle.
Illinois starting with 4 guards off the bat.
Frazier, Glover, Woodyard, Travis, and Graham are PSU’s starters.
Billy Oliver and Trey Lewis are out tonight. Billy is sick and Trey has a back injury

Seems like a pretty good crown tonight at the BJC

Talor was so freakin clutch
Brass balls, that guy.

Really wish this game was on the BTN
So I don’t have to see that PSU scroll at the bottom.

7-5 Illinois at first media TO
PSU struggling to rebound (unusual) and score (usual).

17-15 Illinois at the Under 8
Woodyard stepping up with 10 points and a few airballs. We’ll take whatever scoring we can get, though. Illini have a habit of ignoring Leonard. PSU doing whatever it takes for them to do that. Illini in an ugly stretch right now.

was thinking a make up call from last game
if only those things happened

Sasha
looked pretty good in the post earlier this year, but the last few games has just not played well at all.
Its like he is afraid to mix it up down low
Needs to be a bit more physical down there and get them free balls or something.

This game is all sorts of ugly. 23-22 ILL
Figured this was possible because I think Illinois is showing they’re not elite. They’re finally figuring out to dump the ball to Leonard which we haven’t come close to stopping. Shooting well from 3 though, maybe that’ll stick around for most of the game.

When they are under the basket
It really annoys me when the players try and lay it in, instead of dunking. I see that so much, not only from these teams. My Dukies do it way to much.

That has potential for some ugliness

Okay, so we are in the second half here
And no comments on the new uni’s? I personally like them. Any other thoughts?

For realz.
And clearly its from the coaching staff. They finally got to him to be a factor on offense. Nice to see him gaining confidence.

Really attacking the basket
I like it, take it to them

I wonder if Pat...
…told Tim to take a back seat after that Talor Battle impression at the end of the first half (and the 3 fouls).

No, really, I’m following along via Twitter while riding the Metro home. I should get back to my TV within the next 10 minutes, hopefully.

I doubt Pat would let him stay in there with 4
With this much game left to go, and how these officials are calling alot of fouls.

Terrible call..
They’re saying he was squared up? He HAD ONE EFFING FOOT ON THE GROUND.
"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."
-J.V.Pa.
Yeah
Still moving does not equate, squared up
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin
BUT YES HUH!

This team is so fun to watch. Just wait until they get good.
Chambers is fantastic.

May not be the best players in the country
But they play like some of the best. Lots of heart and scrappyness

His player photo should be a re-creation of this
"Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things."
That is a given
We may need to start that, telling people he should do that, would be classic.

I do like the gray uniforms
I am surprised since I am about the sanctity of the blue and white when it comes to football

Wouldn't mind seeing alternate football unis

Football, them SOB's better not change
But I like these gray uni’s, it is a subtle gray, not like a dark gray, so I ithink it works well.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin
I wouldn't want the football unis to change either
But I do own a few grey PSU shirts that I like. I think it’s fine for the basketball and other teams to try grey uniforms, just not football.
I like sports and I don't care who knows.
I think my second favorite
Are the women’s v-ball uni’s. Perhaps since I watch so many of their games, but they are really sharp as well. But I can see them doa bt of gray as well. I think it would work well.
Just have to watch what type of gray, don’t want to show the sweat type of grey, that is bad.

Really needed that
They deserved it, fought from start to finish

Noticed that Indiana
After they beat us, are on a 3 game losing streak.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin
Wow! What a game!
I made a comment a while ago that I disliked that so many teams were going to gray unis. Man, PSU’s looked sharp! Nice trim and stuff. Other team’s look like the old gray tee shirts we used to wear for gym.
If you are tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department normally uses water.
I hate that I don't get BTN
I would love to see more games

no can do
They came out but said there are two many trees. I live in the Poconos and my development does not allow them to be cut down.

Call me sick...
But that’s funny…
Penn State Proud
The more and more I watch this team
and the job Chambers is doing, I can’t help but think of what he could have done with the NIT Champ team. Sigh…
"Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things."
Or last year's team. One superstar, one very good player, three other starters, competent Billy Oliver, plus time for both Marshall and Woodyard.
Maybe we wouldn’t have worn down the treads on everyone’s tires by the end of the year.

HAH I completely forgot that we went to the tourney last year
long day
"Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things."
Trolling Illinois has become a tradition.
This was a great win for the young team.
Also, I kind of like the gray uniforms.
