Man Nebraska can't miss. this is bs

Trading hoops with this crew is a guaranteed loss. They get more loose and confident with every tick and Illini get tighter.

Someone send a note...”you’re #6”...or did that note go to Nebraska

 

[logjam]

The fact that we're still in the "win or lose" mindset, this late in the game....is a problem. The biggest problem is that it was predictable.

We seem to come out flat every time we are off 5 days approximately, check our losses, we need to play at least twice a week. Not an excuse.

Higgins is awful. Always has been. All of that was completely unnecessary.

He was awful when I first started watching him do Valley games 25 years ago. He has improved, but his reputation outpaces his competence by far.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Yeah it has nothing to do with the other teams. It's all about us. Always.

Nebraska is winless in the conference and 4-11 overall. Their wins are against McNeese St., ND State, South Dakota, and Doane (whatever that is). This one is on us, man

 

[illinijoejoe]

This loss drops you two lines on selection sunday, would be a disaster

 

[BRucks]

Does Nebraska know we are the number 6 ranked team in the nation?

Do we know they are the worst team in the coference?

Game so far not to my liking, but this 2014 Reynvaan In the Rocks Syrah is. Tasty.

 

[TCTORNADO]

At least Curbelo drew iron

Well, it's what happens when you give an inferior team confidence. Now, they believe. Two hours ago, they didn't.

We have a target.....this is Nebbies "championship game ". Expect to be a target every game. Nebraska has played great defense, rebounded and turned us over. We have not responded well.

Are Big Ten refs no longer calling moving screens?

We've helped several teams that way this year.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Curbelo, that was a garbage foul.

 

[thehass]

I love Curbelo, but he really isn’t much of a threat in this game and needs to go to the bench.

again? He has really struggled lately but can't wait to see his development next year. However that doesn't help us this year.

This would be a season defining disaster

 

[Miles Leonard]

The amount of times we take teams lightly is alarming. You'd think after the close calls with Ohio, NW for a half and the loss to Maryland we would have learned by now. Guess not.

 

[Chillinini]

Time to sit Belo.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Belo got really lucky with that weak foul.

 

[JSpence]

A 13-2 run!? Wake up, guys. It's past time.

 

[FromTheLogo]

The 10 minute mark is where Nebraska falls apart.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Interesting that Kofi did not get above the rim on that block.

 

[logjam]

I have a feeling hugs for all next time out from BU.

When was the last time DMW made more than 1 three pointer in a game?
