Penn State men’s basketball falls to Illinois, ending eight-game winning streak

Penn State dropped its first game in over a month on Tuesday.

Illinois upset the ninth-ranked Nittany Lions by a score of 62-56 on a night where Penn State struggled on the offensive end.

Here are three takeaways from the game.

Dosunmu shines in return

The sophomore guard had missed the last game for the Illini and was a gametime decision prior to tip-off after suffering a leg injury against Michigan State.

Dosumnu got the start and looked as good as he has all season, putting up 24 points on 9-of-15 shooting. He led all scorers in the game.
