No. 22 Illinois 79, Penn State 65: The Road To 0-6 Continues

In Pat Chambers’ nine seasons as head coach of Penn State, he started conference play with a record of 0-6 or worse four times. Chambers managed the patented 0-6 start in back to back seasons in 2014 and ‘15. This iteration of the Nittany Lions seems headed in that direction, in similarly excruciating fashion.

The 2021 Nittany Lions have held a lead, for any given amount of time, in every single game they’ve played this season. Furthermore, they’ve held a double-digit lead in three of the five losses leading up to this game. To add even more insult to injury, those double-digit leads were all at least 15 points in nature.
