Never thought I'd be saying that but they seem to be the worst matchup for us possible.  YAY

Night game this time though starting Thursday at 5:30PM flyover time

Hard to beat a team 3x in a row here's to hoping the Illini remove heads from butts and beat them this time

Maybe Underachiever will have them ready to go for the 1st half tip off? Hope so.

Bench Dainja. Chill with all the penetrate/kickout stuff on offense.

And of course, guard hard.

Hopefully we can keep our ass whopping under a dozen.

Whoever has Pickett guarding him every trip down as got to penetrate and demand he play some aggressive defense to stop him, after that I would hope we can catch some fouls...if so we can win. If no fouls are coming, we have to use gimmick zone against him and this will keep the 3's and penetration from him to a minimum. I don't think anyone else on PSU can beat us collectively at all.

Our NET is 33.  2-10 vs Q1.  7-1 vs. Q2.

Every game from here on out will be a Q1. Correction PSU is Q2 on Neutral floor.

One small positive has been an improvement in throw shooting.  We were around 63% middle of the season.  Now at 68% and trending up.

Agree with getting to the line.  We need rogers to guard Pickett.  If that doesn't work then just start mixing up different looks. Press. Maybe some 3-2 for a couple minutes then switch back.  Have to keep them from getting into a rhythm. 

Our offense doesn't have to be great.  Just need the defense to show up and we can handle this team.

We need harris rogers and Shannon to really turn the heat up on these guys.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us as a slight favorite despite this year's previous matchups.

Also a key stat. 

Penn state is 17-4 when scoring more than 66 pts.

Illinois is 18-4 when holding their opponents to less than 72 pts.

Pickett put Rodgers on skates last game like he did to everyone else who tried to guard him. Our best bet is to send a walk on out there to cut his Achilles.

Incidentally, I do NOT condone that type of coaching. It just reminded me of the Chaney media blow up from back in the day.

I hear Achilles is still tied up with the Trojan War, no he is not playing USC. We need another hero....I am thinking a 1-3-1 zone with either Rodgers in the back. He is probably our best rebounder as far as nose for the ball, plus he is quick enough to guard back cuts/alley oops/etc...
