Penn State or Ill-annoy: Who do we prefer?

[samuirocks]

It seems like a toss up.

PSU, because they are not IL

PSU wins a 17-overtime thriller on a last second shot by a team manager because all of the players are too tired to stand up.

Getting revenge for the two most agonizing losses (apologies to Rutgers) of the year? It's hard to pick. Illinois has less to play for, but I have to think if Penn State wins tonight, they'll probably be seeded about the same as Illinois.

All things being equal, I'd rather play against Penn State I guess, but let's just hope whoever wins is very tired.

A Penn State win will free up more tickets:seats in the United Center and hopefully drive more Purple to the game.

That's reason enough to root for Penn State.

Hilarious to hear Underwood and Hawkins whining postgame about Pickett and his “booty ball” — Illinois is so easy to root against. That said, how do we stop him? Pickett was deadly at WRA backing down in the post and then passing out for open 3s.

In a conference full of annoying players, I think I hate Hawkins the most.

He has a perpetual "why are you being so unfair" face.

Agree...I said the same thing last week in another thread:

Gotta root for Illinois, but then I look at Coleman Hawkins and...ecch, it's hard. There is not a single play in the game that happens where Hawkins doesn't give the "but that's not fairrrrrrrrrr!" face.
