I missed hard with Notre Dame last night, but i feel solid about tonight.
Every Dog has their day and Penn State had theirs on Saturday when they knocked off Michigan state despite shooting only 40%. They better bring their A-game vs an Illinois team who shoots an impressive 49%. Illinois may only be averaging 77 PPG, but its still alot better then Penn States 66 PPG. 3 Pointers should be the key tonight when you have Illinois who Ranks 3rd in the nation in 3 point %, and they are going against a Penn State team who Ranks 328th in 3 point % allowed.
In the words of a Olmec "The choices are yours, and yours alone" But my choice, and my money, is with Illinois -4.5

Reason: misquoted Olmec... lawsuit pending.
putting 3units on this game on Illinois -4.5, Illinois is shooting well lately and PSU is coming off a really big upset over Mich. State. I don't see them taking down 2 ranked opponents in a row. Illinois should win this one by 5-10 if they continue to shoot as well from the field as they have in Big Ten play.

I think illinois only weakness is down low on defense and Penn state doesnt have anyone that can score down low or get offensive boards. I like the illini too.
Should have known this was a NP with every Johnny Public and his brother backing Illinois. Damnit.
Big PSU fan here, and this team will come back to Earth eventually and be the fade machine we all know and love. Just a matter of when, and that, I do not know.
Wow. 15 turnovers, gave up 10 O boards, only scored 2 points in the last 4 minutes, and it still took a Penn St 2nd chance dunk with a second left to win this. Way to give this one away Illini.
