Does the first reply make for the official game thread?
Anyone got a streaming audio feed for this game?

It's cause Penn State has such a height advantage inside.

Get the ball to Davis and Tisdale!
Illini Fan

Impressed with Tisdales hustle and rebounding so far. 3 or 4 rebounds already for Tisdale I believe.

Will the Illini reach double figures for the half?
If I were Bruce, I tell them: "Hit an effing shot or I'll kick your ass!"

We are bailing MSU out big time so far, everytime we get an opportunity to make a move on them we end up blowing it against a team we should beat, please don't blow this opportunity.

Good news: Through the under 8 TO, we are holding them to roughly 30% shooting.
Bad news: Illini are blistering the nets at a 15% clip.

Babb and Ott with more points than D-Mac, Tisdale and Davis combined

I'm a loyal Illini alum, and I think that Bruce is a great coach.
But... but...
Bruce, couldn't you put a little more emphasis on scoring points?
What is it you've got against an occasional fast break?
I mean, I'd like to see a little action.

I'm speechless.
I would like to be in the Illini locker room right now and see what Weber says.

Illinois will win this one by double digits, no way they will come out and keep shooting this poorly at home.... they are going to start falling....
NMHIILLINI89

I think Penn State had more turnovers than buckets.
Illini again get to the line for total of . . . 0 free throws.
Burn the tape of the first half, start anew -2 pts.

I was considering both teams, and I'm not sure Minny was worse. Offensively, anyway.

Missed most of the first half.
1. Did D-Mac's fouls come early, or did he get benched?
2. Is the game streaming anywhere?

I think maybe the douchebags in the front row of A4 who never bother to show up had the right idea tonight.
Seriously, the effort is fine. Keep them off the boards and the shots will fall in the second half.

Gotcha.
It was frustrating to say the least, but not horrible.
We were good defensively and we rebounded. We got good shots most of the half. If we don't panic, this is our game for sure.

Typical wannabe ESPN style. They have to make sure the viewer is aware that they have 10 cameras in the building, even if it means missing the action.
