Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[illinifreak30]

Can someone fill me in why Dainja hasn’t played????

 

[GetAWin]

Hawk, Marcus, Quincy,Harmon- where are they??

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Is it an option to Crean him?

We could cut him some slack, he had only a weekto prepare a defense for three possible opponents

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Can only put so much blame on Hamer. He’s not the one getting paid almost 5 mil a year to coach this team. Brad has had all year to adjust. Or at the very least appoint someone else.

Oh, I totally agree ... Have said so on many occasions ...

The problem started when Hamer tried to get more "creative" ... And it's just continued spiraling out of control ...

 

[Chief1976]

Well, take comfort, FL giving up 50 at half as well.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Does TJ have it in him to grind down Nebraska’s 11 point lead?

FIFY ...

 

[B-ILL]

I woke up at 4:30am in Taiwan to watch this game. It looks like some of our team didn't hear my alarm.

 

[Chief1976]

I also feel like an extra day of rest at this point in year is never a bad thing.

Nope.

 

[jaked1121]

This whole year ive wondered if teams are just hitting tough shots against us and if our defense is fine.. but it's becoming so obvious we are not doing enough to disrupt other teams..

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

concerning that we were only down double digits in a game 3 times all regular season. And now back to back games in BTT.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Its like everyone on our team forgot how basketball works. Minus tsj. Bad defense, offense and coaching. Hoiberg and co. giving us the buisness

 

[PepeSilvia]

Need someone other than Shannon to play confidently on offense.

Domask needs to start attacking(he did right at the end). Harmon, Coleman, and Guerrier just need to start attacking with confidence instead of settling for jumpers.

Also, Goode just go up and shoot. Sam Hoiberg is guarding you and you're 6'7. It looks like he got caught in between on that last attempt for some reason.

They got Mast in foul trouble and then just stopped attacking the basket. If you're gonna lose at least go out with a pulse.

 

[Illini1985]

I'm surprised BU hasn't thrown Amani in there. Can't be much worse right?

 

[GetAWin]

Hoiberg is a really good coach.

 

[kyillinifan]

Not making shots.

Not at the risk of being a 4 seed.

 

[RockfordIllini]

Found our rhythm a bit offensively towards the end of the first half. They hit some tough shots. But 24 of 37 shots from 3, Quincy and Coleman 0-7 combined. They have to make outside shots for us to have a chance.

 

[Scoregasm]

Attack the rim and keep doing that.....

 

[Deep]

Pathetic defensive performance
If these guys can't lock in defensively now then they never will

 

[Retro62]

Listen, this is not okay…my cat does not understand that I am not angry at him

 

[HailtotheChief]

Hawk, Marcus, Quincy,Harmon- where are they??

Domask has been ok. On pace for a Double Double but he has missed a couple he normally makes from mid range, 3 for 7, 2 3s and 5 assists.

 

[illiniguy24]

My god they are on fire

 

[WWWWRocU]

Well, we did overcome a 10 point deficit in yesterday's game. So there is that.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Well, our free throw shooting has been really good. And tsj is playing great. And it is just a game. That’s the only bright spots i can give.

It's also a game of runs,just hope we start the 2nd on a good run not them. We have been down by more. Just need someone not named TSJ to go off
