Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[SuperMetroid]

We’re just letting them cut to the paint too much. Too many easy buckets.

Jake bit on a shot fake from a guy with 8 career threes for some reason

 

[HailtotheChief]

Humrichous with the 45" vertical...
Oops... forgot the decimal point, 4.5 inch vertical

Well he got the damn rebound!

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Jake Davis playing as much as DGL is fing insanity.

 

[Bigtex]

Hard to believe we are in this game Let’s see what coach gets the W

 

[Oracle21]

Nebraska has the athleticism of an MVC or lower team. They are woefully slow

 

[Illiniam1984]

Is Nebby going to actually lead wire to wire. Unreal every time we get it to 1 possession

It’s because our D is letting them drive to the basket very easily. That’s why they are still in the lead right now.

 

[FloridaMan]

Time to get Riley back in. Gotta grow up at some point. Davis/Hum not giving us squat.

 

[DevILLDawg]

Big FTs for Ben...

if we can't even rely on him to make foul shots...

No chance he makes both. Great shooter. No ice in his veins

 

[skyIdub]

This is def 2nd round KJ and not lottery pick KJ.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

I miss TSJ's ability to drive to the basket. We don't have anyone capable of that, evidently.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Send a message to KJ. Value possessions.

We go back to the lineup we had prior to this latest switch, I think we win. Just need to not turn the ball over and take it to the rim

Well booth had not turned it over!

 

[CharliedonSurf]

My wife kicked me out of the house due to my theatrics watching the game so I've come here to seek refuge, solace and hope

Nebraska has 9 points off KJ's turnovers. We're down three.

Nobody does!

Nebraska has 9 points off KJ's turnovers. We're down three.

Keep him on the bench.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That is an absolutely brutal foul call

 

[SuperMetroid]

Awful call

 

[illinifreak30]

Bull**** call

 

[DevILLDawg]

No chance he makes both. Great shooter. No ice in his veins

I hate when I'm right

 

[FloridaMan]

But not unexpected lol

 

[Cubfan]

Horrible call !

 

[Retro62]

That is not a foul

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

It's not that simplistic, but point is taken. If we shoot reasonably well, we win by 15.
