Penn State has lost four in a row to fall completely off the NCAA Tournament bubble but is 11-2 at home and while it lost its last home game to Wisconsin in overtime, it probably should have won. PSU is averaging 78.0 points at home while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 41.3 percent from three-point range. Penn State looks for its first regular-season sweep of the Illini since the 2019 season as the Nittany Lions earned their largest road win over a ranked opponent in program history on Dec. 10 when they upset the No. 17 Illini 74-59 in Champaign. Illinois should be favored here, I guess, but that we are getting more than one possession is a must play on the Lions in a matchup that likely comes down to the wire.
