Nebraska 80, Illinois 74 OT Postgame

[steveinspringfield]

What's the buyout for Brad? Asking for a friend.

 

[bjp84]

Please take us out of the top 25. We are overrated

 

[DB11Headband]

More horrific end of game execution in regulation. Coaching leaving A LOT to be desired.

 

[Oracle21]

That’s the worst loss of the Underwood “good team” era. That Nebraska team looks like a bunch of rec league IMPE ballers. No excuse to lose this game with the talent we have.

Embarrassing. Never lead the entire game

 

[NASchamp]

Unbelievable mismanagement of the last 25 sec. of regulation and all of OT. We had every chance to win this game.

Coaches have lost my confidence in this season. Something is seriously off. Not sure what is going on.

Team needs to do some serious soul searching.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Without Tomi, KJ is a good player, but that's about the extent. He's phenomenal with the two man game, but without it, he's just a terrible decision maker. The turnovers......good God.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Turnovers 17-6. That is why we lost.

 

[NoRival]

That was embarrassing

 

[BTYBILL]

We have something in DGL....... All i can say about tonight. Dude had me thinking of Trent watching him play, no need to sub him out when he was having his coming out party

 

[ginabackes00]

I think taking that timeout with 16 seconds left benefited Nebraska way more than us

Irrelevant considering we can't run any kind of offense, out of bounds plays, or play good defense.

 

[illinifan1971]

This is embarrassing

 

[stlrunner]

What do you even say at this point? This team is perplexing.

 

[BlueLeader]

Over or under 500 in conference?

 

[SuperMetroid]

Brad has absolutely no clue how to use timeouts. It’s been a massive weakness his entire tenure

 

[Kingo24]

DGL ties the game and only reason we go to OT and brad replaces him with Ben. This is a clown show in X's and O's

Even worse, they tried to sub him in with 5 seconds to go but were too late. Is anyone paying attention on the sideline?

 

[idoc13]

WR needs to start

That might mean less minutes for Ben. Brad wouldn’t like that.

 

[illini510]

I've been watching Illinois basketball since the Bruce Douglas-Efrem Winters days. In that time I can not remember a more poorly played game in terms of the basic fundamentals. Honestly hard to believe what I just watched.

I'm pretty sure we could find more poorly played games during the Groce era

 

[jacekpardol]

Guys I’m sure Ben is a great kid but he should not be playing more than 15 mins a game.

Swapping him for DGL in the closing seconds was boggling. Then have him start the OT and put up two quick bricks…

This is inexcusable on Brad.

 

[BatteredWifeSchwartz]

I miss Trent, Feliz, DMFW, Ayo, Kofi, and TJ …

Dawg do you even like this school??

I don’t think you’ve ever said anything positive about this team.

 

[DeeIL89]

We need Tomi BAD. The offense barely functions without him and KJ

That's is the major takeway during this stretch. These guys aren't playing like next man up but rather playing like they are missing Tomi really bad. Smh.

 

[Govoner Vaugn Fan]

Skumk level stinker. We need Tomi back.

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

 

[Germanboxers]

Wow…that floor just keeps on dropping. Seems the floor is just who we are. We found our identity.

 

[Cubfanbudman]

I hate picking on college kids. But Humrichous ain't it, he just ain't. Those minutes HAVE to be going elsewhere.

 

[Perry Range's Van]

Story of the game combined with the awful first half shooting.

and an offense designed to deliver contested 3s. or is it desperation 3s? I guess we can do both
