Maybe I watch too much HS basketball but does it seem like there is a media timeout just about every other trip down the floor?!? Gotta be tough to get in any kind of rhythm!

And with Matic's inexplicable foul, we enter "here, take our lead" mode.

These cancerous stretches we enter, spawned by plays you wouldn't expect guys who have been playing ball their whole lives to make.

Ok, good half. You shoot likewe did from three and you’re gonna look good. That will be hard to duplicate in 5he 2nd half.

Good to see the guys playing steady basketball, in tune as a team and most importantly they all look like they are having fun. Amazing what happens when you go to the hot hand and shots fall as a team.

Frazier deferring, Kipper stepping up and Black showing to any/ALL potential 6-6/6-7" players why they might want to join this team in the future. Obviously game planned for Leron today, he is stepping up and I wouldn't be so sure it is not a thought out game plan to showcase for either Trice/Peyton or others to see what could be!

Nebraska needs the win, they have confidence right now, Palmer will haunt us again, but Roby is the key.

Illini have the fight, the will, not the talent, as sad as that is. They will stay close but tail off again with a 6:00 scoring drought.

Nebraska 77
Illini 70

This is the laziest defensive effort against Illinois i’ve seen all year. No way Miles is going to let them play this way in the second half.
Hopefully we tighten up defensively as well or this lead will easily flip-flop.

Illini have kept nebby to one shot only for most of the first half, good rebounding has helped.
