YAY HOOPS: Penn State at Illinois Live Game Thread

What a difference a week makes, huh? A week ago today, we were praying to whatever deity (or non-deity) of our choosing that the shooty hoops stars would avoid getting swept by Big Ten Powerhouse Rutgers. Today, we're praying to whatever deity (or non-deity) of our choosing that the good times continue with a third straight B1G victory as Penn State prepares to take on Rayvonte Rice-less Illinois on the road. Tip-off is at 1:00 PM ET on BTN.

In case you haven't seen Ryan's preview of this game: Here's your assigned reading.

And as always, the usual open thread rules apply: No porn, no political/religious debates, no linking to illegal video feeds of the broadcast, take it easy with the large GIFs, and don't be an asshole, mmkay?
