CHICAGO — They often say third time’s the attraction.
That wasn’t the case for the Illini on Thursday evening.
Penn State defeated Illinois two occasions within the common season, and on the Huge Ten Event in Chicago, they aimed to make it three. The environment on the United Middle supplied Illinois with a “residence” crowd, however after 36 minutes of back-and-forth punches between the 2 groups, Penn State held a five-point lead.
Enter Andrew Funk. His 4 threes led the Nittany Lions to the lead, however he wasn’t finished but. With the shot clock winding down, the fifth-year senior pulled up from deep. Bottoms.
And he didn’t cease there. His sixth three of the evening pushed the result in 12, sinking the dagger into the hearts of the Illini devoted.
Illinois discovered a strategy to include star Jalen Pickett (61 factors within the two earlier matchups), however in the long run, it was Funk and Seth Lundy main the Nittany Lions to the 79-76 win.
