Interesting matchup - Illinois team on the rise vs a sub .500 PSU squad who is now down Kanye Clancy (transfer portal).

Got to think Illini is the play here - this Penn State team has struggled vs good teams - feasting on mid level Big 10 teams.

2 teams going in completely opposite directions. Of course the ranked vs unranked home jinx will convince some to skip the play - but I think it’s a chance to grab the superior team at a decent spread.

I like this one too. Without Kanye Clary it should be Illinois by DD.
Thanks for the play Djeff.

On a side note, its hard to understand how the leading scorer leaves a team one month out from the end of the season. I realize Penn St. isn't going anywhere but, wow. Whoever Clary selects in the transfer portal should be wary.

Makes you wonder for sure.

Penn State actually looked decent couple of years and most of this year.

It’s one of those situations where the team either rallies or falls apart. Ohio State rallied around Diebler as coach - and he is a good coach. PSU I see falling apart tonight.

I agree. I don't see this as a motivation for the team.
GL (to us) on the play.

Rough start - but don’t see Penn State shooting 60% for the game.

At a point Illini reset and start playing some D here.

Saw as low as -1.5 live - now like -3

Plenty of time to make some extra $$ - ML is -175

ILLINI will have a hiccup in the big ten tournament and then all hell will break loose in the tournament. We are going deep in the tournament. We are on a mission this year.
