Penn State Overpowers NCAA Basketball Betting Favorite Illinois
The Penn State Nittany Lions rolled past the 16th ranked Illinois Fighting Illini to a 57–55 win on Tuesday, courtesy of Talor Battle who scored 26 points.
Attracting around 70% of the NCAA basketball betting action, Illinois was the favorite to win against Penn State among LinesMaker bettors. With the NCAA basketball lines at –4, Illini failed to live up to the expectations of the majority of bettors as they lost to the Nittany Lions.
17 of Battle’s 26 points were scored in the second half, putting up a missed shot in the closing seconds that was turned into a basket on a slam dunk by Andrews Jones.
Being the only player to score in double figures, Jones chipped in with 12 points for the Nittany Lions (10–6, 3–2 Big Ten) in their second straight win over a ranked contender. Having scored on all 14 free throw attempts, Penn State shot just 34.6 percent from the field.
Mike Tisdale paced the Illini by scoring 16 points with 14 rebounds. Demetri McCamey scored 10 points for Illinois (13–4, 3–1), which shot 41.3 percent from the field.
