-14.5, ILLINI cover on the road....156.5 over under....ILLINI Over with win!
Boswell on Mingo is the game within the game.....Mingo is the all everything to them just as Wagler is for us. Difference however is that Wagler has a LOT more help, Mingo is an island.
This game will come down to ILLINI crushing them on the boards, probably as many as 10 offensive boards, 16 2nd chance points. Inside/outside pick and roll play will be huge.
Ivisic brothers get 27-14-5-5 pts/Reb/blocks/assists.
92-70 final score ILLINI

The game is in Philadelphia, correct?

Yes, the score was predicted based on pretty much the only thing P-State has is Mingo, 2 guard sidekicks...as long as we don't fall in love with ONLY 3's we win going away imo.
-
Other than we're not playing well, why did Wagler go back in with 2 fouls and 12 min to go
-
3 fouls on Wagler. Oof.
-
It worked for a while. 3 fouls at just under 4 min to go
-
Refs calling touch fouls
-
Playing with our food but still up 14 on the road
-
Mediocre to poor perfect, up 14.
-
And that's why he shouldn't have come back in
-
Petrovic is fast
-
Never in doubt but yuck
-
6/27 from three. But the Pedos topped us shooting 8/38 from three, and there were a lot of wide open looks in there. We 100% escaped tonight.
A win is a win though, especially on the road.

It's not often when both teams shoot in the low 20's from 3.
Mirkovic gets a double double
-
Man if BU doesn't get these guys to "buy" in regardless of the opposition....this B1G season will be a long one. Penn St is straight garbage with exception of Mingo.....and yet we almost played completely down to their level....
Tomi on projected draft boards my arse, he cannot have this kind of night against this kind of team and be drafted by anyone.

Morez Johnson averaging over 14 points a game, shooting 68%, and over 37% from 3,
We didn't want him back anyways!

We probably DID want him back, just not the mouths in his ears though.,

He's not an Eastern Euro, so skeptical

At least 2 of the fouls on Wagler were a joke.
