ILLINI more battle tested to date
ILLINI and Penn State both rebound well
Penn State is better at assists (mostly ACE) - ILLINI will be okay if KJ/Boz handle the ball most often, if Riley handles there may be some TO's?

Should be a good game, over/under is HUGE 163+ ILLINI giving up -9.5

ILLINI win 89-84 at home don't cover the spread.

Hopefully there will be no issues inbounding the ball

Dammit I forgot that in my prediction.

PSU has had our number lately. It’s about damn time we change that starting tonight.

6 outta the last 10, so yes that is a Groce winning % for Underwood, time to turn around.

9.5 point favorites. Seems like a trap after a long exhausting road trip. Hope we come out with energy and maintain it. No one on this team except Ty remembers what happened two years ago at home.

Yeah, I'm concerned about turnovers when they play that pressing D.  If we limit that, not sure they can beat us.

If we can get a complete game from Ivisic, and bring some bigs to the perimeter, then I think we could also have some luck the other way with Rez.

The key once again I believe will be the play of White. He truly is becoming a key element for this team.

I'm not sure we have a next man up. Might be Boswell playing 40 minutes. Really need solid games from the frontcourt.
