The Illini Live Another Day

Well, they tried to lose. The Illini blew a 10-point lead with 4 minutes left, and actually trailed Penn State with under a minute to go, but thankfully Penn State forgot to guard the inbound man and Chester Frazier didn't miss his wide open layup.

Of course, the fact that the Illini had this much trouble against a Penn State team that was without its two leading scorers and lost their third option at halftime, doesn't bode well for tomorrow's matchup with Purdue.
