Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[Deleted member 29907]

team is starting to settle in - unfortunately we gave up a 10 point deficit before doing so

Tyler Underwood should never, ever, ever see the court. This is not ok.

One thing that frustrates about this team is we rely heavily on taking charges. To me that’s a terrible strategy. It’s a 50/50 call most of the times with refs. And we tend to give up a lot of and 1’s that way.

What is the over-under on total Nebraska free throws I will take under 30.

I don't know enough about Tyler Underwood, but in all honesty, would he ever see the floor in non garbage time at any P5 school where is father is not the coach?

 

[GoIllini23]

Kipper...that’s two

 

[JJE]

How many years do we have to suffer this Illinois program not being ready to play come game time?? Why can’t we be the team up 12-2?

Because when we are up 12-2 we give up 18-0 runs. So it doesn’t matter either way.

Need to stop telegraphing that handoff Giorgi

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

How many turnovers will we have today from that stupid predictable handoff? Already at 2

Same question Iowa fans were asking 10 years ago when Todd Lickliter was burning down their program and his son was playing. Underwood needs 7 B10 wins this year to match Lickliter’s 2 year total. Some similarities?

This is the only game I've been okay with him on the court. His rebound and that jump ball have been impressive hustle plays

We've started to run the weave out front, then the cut to the basket - hopefully we give up on that stupid handoff which never gets anything.

The same amount as on the lob?

 

[skyIdub]

Well, maybe try that play some more.

Offensive wrinkles!!!

 

[JJE]

Lol, good timing.

 

[GoIllini23]

can we stay in this till half

 

[cuillini]

I'm losing my enthusiasm for Illinois basketball. I think this will be the worst team in the last 25 years.

 

[Deleted member 6376]

Ayo has been very bad

His body language is not good.

 

[RickBB]

I have no idea why we would ever throw a lob to Jordan...that said, Ayos pass was terrible

 

[ChocolateThunder]

I am out of Goose. Can i make it to the liquor store at halftime?

 

[spillini]

Maybe don’t press?

 

[GoIllini23]

Does anyone know why we always roll the ball on the inbounds

 

[CreepyKyle]

Adonis is not ready to play at this level

 

[skyIdub]

Yeah, i'm going to make grilled cheese.

 

[DonIllini]

This defense simply doesn’t work. We don’t have the length or athlete for it to work consistently
