Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[thehass]

Carelessness and poor shooting has made this game closer than it should be.

Some of the boys better pull there head out of their !!!.....

 

[kiwanegarris22]

It's a raucous arena isn't it?

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

Holy Hell...

This is what really frustrates me.. we let these teams at the bottom of the league who you should win by 25+ at home stick around. It gives them confidence.. we have no offense. I have said it all season. Ayo cant make every shot.

 

[kiwanegarris22]

I think it counts!

 

[skyIdub]

Trent from BlooNo!!!!

 

[The Recruit]

Kind of wish we were going into the locker room down at this point. However, I think BU is going to light a fire in them just the same for only being up 3 at the half. Win by 15.

 

[kiwanegarris22]

I'll take the six point lead (as opposed to losing).

Didn't Brad Underwood say in his presser "Trent's better at making the hard ones..." lol.

We’ve just been shooting threes from the wrong spot on the floor!

 

[SuperMetroid]

And boom goes the dynamite.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

No worries.

 

[pvaughn8]

as a team I would have to imagine that our FG% inside of five feet is well below the national average. it’s really a notable deficiency

I really agree. What the hell is with this

SCHMACKKK!!!!

And boom goes the dynamite.

THIS prompts me to go watch that clip during halftime! One of my all-time favs!

 

[Retro62]

That’s one of those shots that happens when you’re already up 20...I’ll take it though.

Wrong FT line!

 

[spillini]

Watch us win by 3

Giorgi still in his funk missed a couple of bunnies

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Wondering if I should feel like a traitor. Drinking white Bordeaux and heard announcers say Neb player is from Bordeaux.

 

[Chief lives on]

That’s the longest shot I can remember seeing an Illini player making. Too young to see Starnes as that was long before my time but remember reading about it in a Loren Tate column

 

[Illini_Jack]

I feel like we should be up by 20 but TOs just let them hang around and comeback. Gotta focus next half.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Another dumb rule change. I don’t know how many years ago but they used to use the horn when determining if a shot is good. That’s the best way. You can watch release AND listen fior horn. How can you watch clock and release? You can’t. Oh but with wonderful review you can waste 5 minutes to find out something a ref should be able to see and hear live. UGH !!!

Just lost out there...don't know what happened with his game, but he isn't shooting the ball, he is throwing it up there
