Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[logjam]

How often Kofi gets a touch is pretty telling on how we’re going to play. And so far...

They're playing a 3 man triangle zone on him almost.

 

[skyIdub]

Yes...get Ayo and Kofi pissed off!!

 

[altgeld88]

I've always had a lot of respect for Hoiberg.

He and Holtmann were two excellent hires.

 

[trtl]

We’ll have the lead by half. Cuz we have Ayo. That guy ...

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Lmao Ayo has had enough of this ish.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Is Nebraska secretly a dominant interior team?

No.

 

[thehass]

Ridiculous. this is the most frustrating team to watch that I can remember. Win or lose this sucks so far and there is no excuse for it.

 

[illiniguy24]

Just win

 

[Miles Leonard]

Anybody who questions Hoiberg as a coach doesn't understand the game.

As a college coach, sure. He sucked with the Bulls.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

No.

I know. I just wanted to see if I could say it out loud without giggling.

Surely you can’t be serious. The most frustrating team to watch that you can remember? Have you seen the last 8-10 years?

The difference is as a teacher...the college kids want to learn and get better...pros know it all...they think.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Need Kofi to get more aggressive in the second half. Like a lot more.

 

[skyIdub]

Man DMFW making the dirtbag plays. Neb playing tough. We have to be tougher.

 

[New Creation]

Can you believe no one got called for a foul on the rebound lol

 

[BRucks]

Was Demote not fouled?

 

[Deleted member 747802]

No foul on Nebraska agains DMW? No reward for the team who out hustled 3 Nebraska rebounders? Geez come on man.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Was Demote not fouled?

He was killed but they are pro Nebby refs

 

[altgeld88]

FWIW, Michigan struggled the entire first half in Lincoln and only took the lead for good with 1 min left in first half in late December. Won by 11.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

This is a Lucas Johnson kinda game

 

[skyIdub]

Yeah! Kofi BEAST MODE ACTIVATE!!

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Yeah, super suspect. Obvious loose ball foul there.

 

[hoopsfan47]

At this point, the difference is at the free throw line.

 

[illiniguy24]

*IF* we are somehow winning at half - we win by 20
