Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[jrum48]

Where would he except portal?

 

[Cubfan]

Hard to believe Underwood gets paid $5 million for this. I’d do it for half of that !

 

[JSpence]

Any team in the country could compete with us tonight.

We are not and will not be whole, and we make 3s at high volume... at rates in the teens.

There is a huge, billowing flag to tell us to finally lower expectations on what this season could be. Just enjoy the wins and comebacks when they happen.

Are we going to lose to Chattanooga, Bradley or Drake in the 1st round of the NCAA?

The trend we are on would have us getting a bad enough seed that we’d play another Power Conference team First Round…

 

[Keisersose]

High knees with a horrible call

Just makes stuff up. And seems to go against KJ a lot.

 

[SuperMetroid]

The good news is Nebraska sucks. We have no business being in this game but it’s still very winnable

 

[TheGMan]

How are we only down 7? We need a teammate to get into some of his teammates asses right now.

Nebraska isn't very good.

Missed on Humbrickhous, Riley, and Booth …

Sort of wild the missed evals. Booth makes sense, but Ben and Will are tough pills to swallow. Hard to think we wouldn't be better if we just stuck with Ty, Amani, and Sencire at this point.

 

[Oracle21]

They are more the “I’m here for a year’s paycheck and then on to the next job” types.

 

[skyIdub]

We have 3 D2 players (Hum, Davis, Booth) getting significant minutes, and 3 freshmen (KJ, Morez, Riley) that we are totally dependent on right now.

I guess Tomi really is that big of a difference for this rotation. No other way to explain a couple of our earlier W's.

What a weird season.

 

[Ty’s jump shot]

This team has no leader

 

[derrick6]

It’s time to stop talking so much about how good this team can be and start being EDGs from now on.

I would keep the players from the media from this day forward.

 

[NASchamp]

I think that’s the problem. No leadership on this team. Just a bunch of young, new guys.

Yup. If there’s nobody on this team that can motivate his teammates when we’re in a funk, then literally what does it matter if we’re ~talented~?!?!

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Mr Optimism - Riley goes on a heater to save the game

 

[HailtotheChief]

I need to enjoy the Zen on my you tube TV commercail breaks. These guys are stressing me out!

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

I don’t understand how this game isn’t a blowout at this point. Oh wait, its Nebraska

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

TJ and Marcus made Brad and co look a whole lot better than they are. Another first weekend exit forthcoming

 

[Cubfan]

Yes indeed

 

[Ramrod2010]

We look like idiots

Not my best work. Just like the team tonight.

 

[skyIdub]

I'm here for Morez first 3pt attempt.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

This team has no leader

I really thought that was going to be Boswell.

 

[CHILI1992]

Morez...... you have to work on your hands
