Courtney Green just got baited into calling a brutal charge. Should have been a flop technical on PSU.

PSU going on another one of their patented massive scoring droughts.

I am afraid this ILL start could be what we are looking at. Going into a hostile environment looking like a team that just played a 2OT game.

But they’ve also punched their ticket. A loss at Purdue doesn’t hurt them at all. We’ve got no choice but to come out guns blazing.

They are playing like it. And a bad Illinois team is prone to getting blown out. We have no choice sure but I just have a feeling Thursday may have taken a lot out of our tank.

I swear we have the most pessimistic fan base in the country and it’s not particularly close.

I think the Senior Day stuff may give teams a little extra juice for the first few minutes, but after that it’s just another game. We led IU most of the way the first time around and just went cold down the stretch. We can beat these guys.

Yea, if outside motvation was really much of a thing, MSU would have blasted us post shooting.

You could argue that Senior Day throws off your rhythm/routine.

Baylor got blasted on Senior Day yesterday. I think you can make a narrative either way but I’m guessing if someone did a scientific study Senior Day doesn’t matter in the long term.

Sincere Harris not getting any help from people calling out screens.

One of those classic things that only matters when the narrative fits.

Confused, why would we root for Penn State?

Penn State has cut the lead to 1 with 1:24 left. Not feeling great for Maryland here.

Maryland was up 59-48 with 5 mins left. PSU has gone on a 13-3 run

That isn’t even close. Why even take the time to review if your confident in the call?

Had we beat Illinois, they would be falling to almost bubble territory.
