Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[FromTheLogo]

Teddy and DMW gunna fight this game.

No gimmes in the B1G. Lets take care of business.

Yup.

 

[Orangetool]

That was a very strange half. I hope that coach lays into the team to raise the intensity level.

Kofi is way too loose and happy. He is a better player when angry, coach has to get him there.

 

[Miles Leonard]

An NW-type second half would be awesome!

 

[GallopingGhost]

Well the first part of my prediction was true. (Within 4 pt game at half) I think the second part, the one where we pull away in the second half will also hold true

 

[TCTORNADO]

With our poor zone offense, we are going to see a lot of zone defenses the rest of the year.

[tell it like it is]

Is it just me, or did the clock guy let 3 seconds run off extra twice in the last minute?

I went back and looked. I came up with 2.6. How does our bench not see that????

Glad I took Illinois -14.5

Don’t tear up that ticket yet, my friend!

I think it’s a timing thing with the broadcast.

Can the bench ask the refs to check clock?

Im surprised also, we seemed to do well against PSt. I think it was them. We're not sticking someone at the ft line or just below.

Agreed, there's a reason they switched to a camera view of the clock at the end there.

 

[Dan]

The time at the end was correct. The time on the TV scoreboard was incorrect. You can see the disparity on this screenshot, real scoreboard on the upper-right.

20 minutes to beat Nebraska by 2 points? Yeah I like our odds.

By the Clock, only 17 minutes.

I only read the comments from start of halftime, but I can’t believe they aren’t all about the officiating. I’m usually anti-ref-blaming on here, but I thought that was 5 on 8 all half. Just so many blown calls. Oh well. Illini by 14

Problem is Kofi is having to play to much because GB can’t stay in the floor. Also, I thought Ayo had figured out the double and forcing him left in the last game. He either needs to find Kofi or kick to the open shooter opposite side. He did that so well against Nebraska, not so much tonight.

Put in Hawkins at the 5, he might play better D lol

We have to try to get Kofi off in the second half... although he did well in the last 10 minutes. Would like to see DMW take a shot. He has been hesitant the last few games.

Didn’t really thinking officiating was bad, or certainly no worse than normal. Illini I think had one less follow and shot mor FT.

How many And 1s has Adam given up this year? My God.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Kofi setting the tone!

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

uhhh....rebound, maybe?

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Can we get Cole in the game?
