Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[azillini1]

We are getting slightly beat on the boards, but only shooting 35%, while Nebby shooting nearly 58%.

We clearly have the more athletic players and better team. And, many people complained on this site over Hoiberg being coach of the year in the BIG. Hoiberg is a very good coach!

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

My dog feels your kittens pain

Are we sure Nebraska isn't shooting 90%?

 

[My2Cents]

What I am seeing is one team playing with no worries....exactly like they had prepared mentally coming into this game. They were full prepared to play Purdue because they have already beaten them...pretty soundly. Our team, of course, watched in hopes of maybe having another crack at Purdue but probably excited to see Wisconsin win. I'm going to just try my best to enjoy the rest of the game and remind myself that we have not lost 2 games in a row all year but we have won five in a row.....I will take that if we lose today Yes 6 would be better but after this first half I'm already grasping for the 5 lol

This team has too much offense to come back from this.

Hawkins is a mess

Disconnected and disinterested overall. If you can't get up for tourney games idk what to tell you

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I hope the Illinois players are embarrassed, because they should be

 

[Seark]

Game over

 

[grantlab]

Great energy to start the 2nd half guys

Tominaga just put our all world defender Hawkins into a spin cycle. This is over.

 

[Chillinini]

No more talk of being a Final Four team Coach.

See you all next week.

Kinda worried about Coleman’s regression in the last couple games. Really in his head. Not good for the big tourney

 

[Fighting I 95]

We are done

 

[illiniguy24]

Absolutely rattled. Blowout territory

 

[Retro62]

This could be a blowout

 

[skyIdub]

Absolutely getting punked by Nebrasketball.

Oh Coleman. Pass up open three. Jack an NBA three. Travel. Tri-f’ing-fecta.

 

[BlueLeader]

Hawkins is unplayable. Very concerning.

hockey sub time...5 new guys

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Nice halftime adjustments. Let’s shoot a 3 every possession rest of way. Why not

 

[abchew2]

This team is mental at the worst time. Tough to see

 

[illiniswish09]

[Marshall_Lucky]
