Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[Get yourself a new map]

And here comes the ticky tack BS.

I'm pretty sure Shannon with 2 fouls is still a better option than what we have out there.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Still a lot of time left, but this is some worrying stuff. At some point you have to question why it seems Brad's teams start going to these super tight and passive mindsets when it's tourney time. Seen this too many seasons now for it to be pure coincidence

 

[Gary J]

This is quickly turning into blowout city

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Every time we do something good, Nebraska comes right back and torches is on the other end.

 

[Nuke Dukem]

Ok Goode

 

[LoveLovie]

Ballsy shot by Goode

 

[Retro62]

God our defense sucks so much

 

[PNWIllini]

Dainja being left out after his game yesterday is fairly perplexing.

All I see is we being outplayed and outcoached.

 

[Illini8420]

Pathetic. It was obvious we were in trouble when Nebraska was torching Indiana yesterday. “But it’s Indiana” yeah so much for that

 

[BBlock24]

Gonna give up 50 in the first half to a team that averages 75 a game lmao

 

[Jersten]

Just getting SCORCHED.

Anyone have any aloe vera?

 

[Gary J]

Where’s the D?

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Whether they come back or not this is extremely concerning

But Nebraska is not a 9 seed. They deserve some respect

 

[illiniguy24]

My god they are on fire

Huskers second team is running Illini out of the gym.

 

[CDRUSN]

Once again this year, the Illini are playing scared, disjointed, standing around basketball in the post season. This does not bode well for next week unless things change drastically.

 

[Illini60613]

Not going to win any games when the other team shoots over 60%

 

[Naborman88]

Maybe BU notices that Ty can’t stay with Williams?

 

[JJE]

Our defense is so bad Jaylon Tate could score 20 on it.

 

[hiberto]

can't trade baskets with a team like this. need some stops. how many times this season have we said "they can't keep shooting 60% all game can they?"

 

[pvaughn8]

Rounding into postseason form I see. Outside of 2021 BTT, we have nothing to show

I agree 100%. This is exactly right.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Hey let's keep our two best defenders on the bench while we're getting run out of the gym.

 

[Champaign88]

I hope Nebraska hangs 120 on us at this point. This is pathetic. And why is TSJ coming back in for the last 55 seconds if we were too afraid to play him the last 6 minutes with two fouls?
