What an epic collapse by #Illinois Wife not happy. The Illini totally fell apart. Just a ridiculous way to lose and still a chance to win and they miss a layup.
Terrible collapse for the Illini. Outscored 8-0 in the final 35 seconds. Coleman Hawkins' missed FTs & then fouling Hicks on the three-ball was back breaking. 90-89 PSU. Wow.
Illinois with about the worst final 30 seconds you can play. Entire state of Penn going crazy.
That might be the most brutal meltdown I've ever seen by an Illini basketball team.
Severe choke by Illinois. Inexcusable last 45 seconds. Pucker up time.
