Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[Coop70]

Wonder how many trash cans gave up their lives today?

 

[the national]

Coleman. Splash.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

More please. Love the extra passes and work in the paint. The 3s will come but make them defend you!

 

[genxrex]

Get off QG, there's a reason Brad tried to get him on his team for the last four or five years and it's not only hitting open threes

 

[zentrails]

QG with 2 FG's and a board already. Love the inside scoring.

Yep, 3s by him are a luxury we don't need today

 

[skyIdub]

Oh look...Tominaga with a million first half points. Never could have guessed that....

Very good job attacking the paint and getting easy buckets.

 

[RickF]

Coleman. Splash.

You couldn’t pay me enough to have that job

 

[Illinifan533]

Love it when they pound it inside and then stretch it out!

 

[illinifan1987]

TJ and Domask will have big big halves.

 

[ILL-Intentions]

QG back to it and love TSJ fighting through every screen on Tominagas hip. BU made some adjustments.

Then Coleman launches an early shot clock contested 3, dang it
Hope he got an earful from Brad

I'm totally stealing that...lol

There is a lot of hesitation on the perimeter. Goode and Harmon seem like the Illini looking to catch-and-shoot recently and tonight (Guerrier did that a lot, until recently). I wish Guerrier had more confidence in his shot right now. Domask is wired to dribble attack, backing down his guy more often than not. Shannon will catch-and-shoot, without a dribble, but he is so good going to the basket that he understandably attacks that way most of the time. Colman can catch-and-shoot, but his a good facilitator too ... Nonetheless, punishing packed-in, help-and-recover defenses using catch-and-shoot threes is an effective tool and so it would be great if our squad did that a bit more. And yes, I know, Goode is not draining many, sigh.

If we hit our open threes at the rate Nebraska is hitting contested threes, we'd be up 30

 

[JSpence]

18 points in 3.5 minutes... on pace for a 100-pt half lol

Um.. no. The clock on my tracker showed 16:23 but that wasn't right.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

How was that not atravel?!?!??! And leading to a three good lord

 

[moonpies88]

Play defense

 

[WeWillWhen]

Goode 0-5.

 

[skyIdub]

Ty Rodgers is the best rebounding guard in the country.
