Penn State has to travel to Chicago, Illinois, for this Big Ten Tournament tilt.

Penn State is 4-13 ATS after allowing 65 or fewer points in two consecutive contests. Illinois is third in the Big Ten in points scored, and second in rebounding, while the defense is sixth in points allowed (66.6 ppg) and fourth in field goal shooting allowed. Penn State won both regular-season meetings, but the Illini can turn the tables with its significant rebounding edge.
