Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

Frager is certainly not a random lol

I mean...other than Sandfart...every single Nebraska BB player is random to me.

We are not guarding Frager

ditto and it is costing us.

Wide open 3 after wide open 3

That's the problem with the zone. You better know how the actually play one. It takes a lot of discipline, especially in the corners, to not help off. Now, you wouldn't have to help if the guards stayed in front of their man. Once they get into the middle of the paint, it's a rotational nightmare. That's what's happening now.

I can't believe they didn't call a goal tend

Probably review it during the timeout……

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

They can't replay goaltends, can they?

Big Z going for the quadruple double tonight. UNLEASHED tonight.

 

[CDRUSN]

Most dangerous Z man since

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

That clearly is a foul on Wagler drive.

This cost us 1pt.

 

[SummerofGeorge]

6’7” pt guard smallest guy in lineup. Kudos to BU for giving this a shot.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Some annoying things in this game so far form us (mostly on defense). But in general, I really like our poise and effort so far.

 

[skyIdub]

LOB CITY!!

 

[CentralILLini]

Ohhhh ZzzzZzz!

 

[Illini8420]

This is a legit final four team

 

[Jon]

Holy shiiiii

 

[aaeismacgychel]

BIG Z AGAIN

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

UNBELIEVABLE pass by Wagler.

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Big Z on baseline gonna keep Nebby honest

 

[CDRUSN]

Perfect assist by Keaton, and what a throwdown by Big Z. More of that!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

BIG Z WITH THE SHOT CKOCK VIOLATION D

 

[Ryllini]

Z is locked in!

 

[Jimbo]

Nice sequence

When the ball gets inside, you HAVE to rotate to the corners. Not great fundamentals on the Frager threes.

Yes

Think only a couple were from the corner though

My point in saying that is just that the zone isn’t going to work, I said that yesterday in the pregame thread and it’s the only way they’ve been able to score so far.
