Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[D1959]

Time for Miss Kitty and the marshal

[OrangeKrush1981]

Those 2 dunks by Williams were such bad defense

They were also very good, simple sets. And well sold by the Nebraska guys.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Donors not going to be too happy about this one.

 

[LouHenson]

Unfortunately, I don’t think the outcome of this game has any bearing as we have serious issues in either case.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

Yeah because Jake Davis and Carey Booth are getting major minutes.

Davis is a good enough player in limited minutes and booth hasn’t shown that he should ever be on the floor.

We're playing Nebraska.

I'm not confident in his ability to take over a game at this point. His TOs over the past few games are mind boggling

He just needs to drive into the lane and create foul shot opportunities. He is a freshman at the end of the day even if he is a lottery pick.

Really? Thinking more travel , travel schedule, meal schedule etc . Guess you don’t travel much.

No need to be a Richard to your fellow fans

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I’ll sum it up From the construction of the roster. To having whole recruiting classes gone. To no Real Xs and Os coach . To missing in the Portal. I blame Brad Underwood and for all the people that keep saying this Illinois team has a high ceiling and is a Final Four team. Please be quiet

 

[Illini89]

Losing to Nebraska what you expect?

 

[TheGMan]

What a cesspool this place is. Sorry I dropped by.

You think it’s bad here, you should see the game

 

[SuperMetroid]

What a cesspool this place is. Sorry I dropped by.

 

[and 69 others]

Matthew Mayer and Jayden Epps just can’t buy a 3 tonight. Oh, sorry, wrong guys — we look exactly like the 22-23 team, my bad.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

I don't think there is anything wrong with the players, other than Tomi being sick.

This is an issue of the staff. They need to look in the mirror.

 

[westcoastillini]

Awful first half. Sometimes shots don’t go down but it feels like without ivisic for the pick and pop we have no real offensive scheme. Atrocious defense

 

[Keisersose]

We're playing Nebraska.

and we have Jake Davis and Carey Booth playing major minutes.

 

[Steelyunk]

The analytics say we can’t shoot.

 

[skyIdub]

That's not true. The last few possessions sucked but Nebraska is only shooting only 38%. We are shooting g 28%. Out D kept us close until the last few minutes. Hopefully Morez can help. Trey had 10 boards and os playing hard. Just gotta make shots.

Lol...whatever makes you feel better! It's the same lackluster effort so far.

Del

 

[Oracle21]

To quote that great Chicago Cub, Carlos Zambrano…we stinks

 

[Illini John]

This is beyond embarrassing. I've never seen a team lose its basketball skills like Superman loses his strength when he gets kryptonited.

Seriously, what happened to the team we saw a month ago? It's not as simple as "oh, we're missing Tomi". Something has happened to this team and it doesn't make sense.

 

[FoundersClub]

Where’s Dain Dainja when you need him…

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

This has nothing to do with Tomi at this point.

The entire offense runs through him and we only have one other big. It has everything to do with Tomi.

 

[Illiniam1984]

I have no idea why or how we ended up with them after the season we had last year.

 

[illini510]

Literally no 5 on the court for 15 minutes of game time. I'm not sure other than DGL and KJ that there's been any dribble penetration.

DGL deserves to start the 2nd half but that'll never happen
