Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[GoIllini23]

Announcers stink

 

[CoalCity]

Smith put a solid screen on Frazier on that inbounds play

 

[JamesB]

OK, we all knew this was coming, the question is can we fight them off and come out on top.

 

[Spoon House]

Zones are hard.

 

[JamesB]

Danger zone.

 

[CasualObserver05]

Wonder how much money BU would give to bypass this halftime?

Sad just how predictable this team is. :tsk:

 

[GoIllini23]

Just cannot make a dang basket

 

[blmillini]

Why is it that when we go on these long droughts where can't make even make a wide open layup we also seem to throw the ball away then too?

 

[CasualObserver05]

I said it in the last game thread and I'll say it again, "death, taxes and Illinois scoring drought."

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Wow, we're missing a LOT of good looks.

 

[bombayIllini]

This is not a coaching problem.

 

[JamesB]

Losing might be better in this case. Maybe get another big 10 team into the dance, and improve our draft position.

Jordan ha s a horrible looking shot. How do we recruit shooters like this?

Better question is how was he a 4 ️

BU, please put Smith in and let him just plat, we really don’t want to see him transfer! Let him learn this year and come back with a chip, you’re destroying his confidence more and more each game. I get it, he hasn’t played to the level you expected, but at this point why not let him loose?

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.

I am the swami.

No. Win.

PLEASE!!

in Smitty I believe, rooting for ya kid

 

[Coachbubbles]

Feeds Black for a baby hook and quickly finds the pine. Huh?!?

 

[IllFanInMi]

Yep, just want him to go off one game, we all seem to want him to do well. 3 pointer 2 assists in 2 minutes!

 

[CasualObserver05]

Lack of size, MS just forced into a bad spot.

 

[Coachbubbles]

He’s gonna be fine. Once he finds confidence and learns to play B1G D he’s going to get minutes and put up stats. The thing I like about him is that he is a team player that looks to pass 1st. I still think in the long run him running point with TF playing off guard is a great combo. How many times has he created space and made a good pass for a wide open shot?

 

[Seagee]

BU, please put Smith in and let him just FOUL
