Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[FleetFeetIllini]

Seemed like they thought play had stopped?

 

[Jon]

Alright that was just good comedic timing Hawkins

 

[Ignatius Shang]

I like Tominaga a lot. He has a really high basketball IQ.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

We stopped shooting threes and what do you know, we extended the lead. Keep. It. Going.

 

[IlliniReb]

Freshmen are 10 for 15

That is a stat

 

[FleetFeetIllini]

I like Tominaga a lot. He has a really high basketball IQ.

He's a baller for sure

 

[Jon]

Someone cut together a benny hill turnover montage for this game

 

[azillini1]

Everytime we get a nice lead, we start turning the ball over.

We are now 4 for 28 from 3. Never seen anything like this from a "good" team.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Illini have doubled the 4 turns they had in the first half...but Huskers with 11!!!

Disagree. He was the jackwagon that kept waving his hands while we were taking free throws last year.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Everytime we get a nice lead, we start turning the ball over.

And shooting threes.

 

[New Creation]

TY rogers is a game changer. Bye bye walker.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Disagreed. He was the jackwagon that kept waving his hands while we were taking free throws last year.

This!

 

[Miles Leonard]

Escape with the win. That's all that counts in the end.

 

[Jimbo]

Illinois odds to win at 93.1% right now. I would take nebraska with those odds.

 

[illini80]

Fortunately we have a large talent gap over Nebraska. Our defense is really good. Our offense is atrocious at times.

 

[Dragons89]

We know how to stop playing with a lead at the end of games. We are good at that!

 

[hoopsfan47]

Anyone think Ty might make one of these? Gotta make the first try though which won't hurt the team % if he misses as much as missing two. He deserves to make them both....but that would be getting too greedy.

 

[FleetFeetIllini]

This!

Still a good player

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Ok, so box score now says freshmen 9-15, I might have had that stat wrong (10-15). But I’m 100% sure that Ty has 47 rebounds

 

[Bigtex]

Hey big Tex should Harris not be playing now?

Yes he has been a lift tonight but against the zone coach realizes he needs to sit

 

[hoopsfan47]

TY rogers is a game changer. Bye bye walker.

YUP...seems like his hoops IQ is higher than all the upper class guys.

 

[New Creation]

Ty made a free throw

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That was Ty's best looking free throw of the season.

 

[thehass]

Escape with the win. That's all that counts in the end.

agree. Not a stellar performance by any stretch of the imagination.
