Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[skyIdub]

It's so Illinois to have an off night after getting back into the rankings.....face palm.

 

[altgeld88]

Payne. Yes.

[EDIT: Aaaaaaand he gives it away at the other end immediately.]

 

[illiniguy24]

We just can’t seem to put our foot on the throat like we have the last 3 weeks

The games which Trent scores a lot are not usually good. Trent is a leader and he only does that when the others cannot score. I hope this game ends differently.

 

[azillini1]

Kofi really off tonight and frustrated. If he doesn't right the ship soon, we could be in trouble.

 

[madillini4]

Spacing. Not great.

 

[Chillinini]

Very sloppy.

Need someone like Payne, Hawkins or Goode to fire them up.

 

[727ill]

Nebraska hitting a lot of wild shots..not sustainable.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We are just blah in all areas of the game tonight.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

When our 3s don't fall, we look very bad.

 

[skyIdub]

I've never seen so many players hit in the face with no foul call....let alone a technical foul.

 

[LoveLovie]

Payne with some good hands

To be fair, since the Cincy game the UTRGV one is the only time they've been sluggish like this. It's bound to happen.

 

[BTYBILL]

Is Hawk hurt?

 

[hiberto]

nice FTs by payne there

 

[redwingillini11]

Nice FTs Payne!

And refs tell Nebraska to control their arms!

 

[altgeld88]

Happy with Payne's progress the past month.

 

[skyIdub]

Omar with HUGE minutes.

 

[spillini]

Plummer with 7…

 

[azillini1]

Payne with some good hands

And FT's

I've been thinking the same thing. Kofi is sooo far off that it might be Trent going iso for all of the points.

 

[PNWIllini]

Whats wrong with the offense

 

[BTYBILL]

Ok Payne. Making progress

 

[altgeld88]

Omar with HUGE minutes.

The new Giorgi-in-training?

 

[JSpence]

Payne with some good hands

Three fouls in five minutes, but... improvement
