| 0:00.0 | Welcome into the online inquire podcast, Jeremy Warner live at Rec Hall, where I just saw Penn State fans, about 5,000, 6,000 of them stormed the court |
| 0:23.4 | as they took advantage of an epic Illinois night collapse. Penn State closed the game with |
| 0:28.8 | toughness, 17 to 5 run in the game, including 8-0 run over the final 35 seconds. Derek Piper |
| 0:35.5 | joining me back in Champaign. |
| 0:38.1 | Derek, that was one of the worst losses of Brad Underwood era that I can think of. |
| 0:43.0 | Given what was on the line, Big Ten championship race could have moved within a game of Purdue. |

| 1:28.5 | This has been an issue for a pretty prolonged period. Even ever since Terrence came back, |
| 1:35.0 | we've talked about it. Prior to that, they weren't spectacular at that end of the floor. |
| 1:40.1 | They have some very known weaknesses in terms of stopping the ball inside wahab obviously was |
| 1:45.5 | hurting them early too but just to allow like you said Penn State scored 90 points for them to get |
| 1:50.5 | downhill as much they did 46 points in the pain i think for Penn State and just some of the |
