Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[Ryllini]

Brad was killing Hamer there and we get beat on the same back door play again. He will have to walk home

 

[Butters]

Out of the TO

Brad called a timeout so Hoiberg could draw it up. What a nice guy.

 

[Keisersose]

Hoiberg took us to school on those last two possessions.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Aright … let’s see how this group regroups after a crap half and yet a winnable game in front of them.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Not good enough at all from this staff. Underwood getting absolutely clown showed by Hoiberg.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Strange team, I can’t remember seeing such highs and lows in a season, even with injuries/illnesses.

 

[Goillinikobd]

Nothing new, this is who we are, make threes or get beat.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Absolutely brutal to not have any big men for most of that half. We need Ivisic back badly.

 

[sacraig]

Is it weird that I feel like only being down single digits after playing like that is a blessing?

 

[LuckyIllini]

BU getting out coached again.. Shocker

 

[blife]

The seas part 2 possession in a row WTF.

 

[DeeIL89]

We are playing like a team that will get bounce in the second round of the tournament.

 

[illinipimp]

Why are they showing a replay of the Maryland game? I thought we were playing Nebraska?

 

[ginabackes00]

Horrible defensive sequence X 2

 

[Illinifan74]

Well, that was certainly one of the halves of the year.

Not at all, it feels like we're down 20 to me LOL

 

[illinifan1987]

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Awful

 

[Zorak]

The way this team is playing they'd be lucky to win the first game.

 

[ugottabjoshinme]

Brutal communication on those switches. We’ve barely switched all year not sure what’s going on there

I think it just goes to show how bad Nebraska is, which makes losing to them even worse

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Hoiberg took us to school on those last two possessions.

“Throw it into the FT line and fake a pass, all 5 of them will bite and it will be a free dunk. Ready break”

 

[illini510]

We will win this game.

It will require KJ to take over and Boswell to step up just as he's done in past games. No interior presence whatsoever.

 

[blife]

Without a healthy tomi, i say yes..

First game with tomi being mentioned as sick....USC...2-3 (going on 2-4) without healthy tomi.....14-2 with

Yep you need a real 5 man to be legit

 

[Gregjacksonfan]

The old step back from KJ to end every half
