  "account": "Brad Underwood, Illinois head coach, couldn't resist teasing his team's prowess after Illinois' dominant victory over Penn State. After a 112-70 win, Underwood quipped that the best shooters in the building were sitting courtside, making a joke at the expense of his own team. He pointed out Caitlin Clark and Peja Stojakovic, Illinois' star players, who were courtside to support Fran McCaffery, Connor McCaffery's father who coaches Penn State.\n\nUnderwood's jest was in good spirit, as he praised Clark and Stojakovic's shooting skills, joking that they should've had a three-point contest to determine who was the true best shooter. The coach mentioned that none of the Illinois players were on that level, sarcastically suggesting they'd be playing a game of horse instead.\n\nPenn State's Andrej Stojakovic, Peja's son, made an impact on the court. Leading all scorers with 25 points in just 22 minutes, Andrej put on a show, drawing comparisons to his father's impressive play. The young guard's performance highlighted the family's connection to the game and added to the star-studded atmosphere at Illinois' win.",
