Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

Sorry this is on Brad if this fella still makes decisions
24 3p attempts of 37 total attempts...not great
When there was a lull in scoring, Illini couldn’t take advantage. Nebraska was going to score again, and they closed the half strong
I assume it’s his knee but Coleman has been 2 steps slow on defense
We're on pace to go 14/48 from three. That's clearly not a winning formula.

Ugly half of basketball. Nebraska shot 61%, and a lot of that was due to very poor defense against a team shooting well coming in. Not a recipe for winning. However, it is still an 11 point game, even with TSJ sitting extended minutes after his 2nd foul.
Maybe attempt to play defense in 2nd half, otherwise, it will be a double digit loss.
In any event, I would hate to be the 1 or 2 seed that draws Nebraska. They are way better than their projected seed.

Quincy and Hawkins 0 for 7 from 3. Much like the Purdue loss at home. I don't like Quincy taking those 3s.
I understand BU wants us to shoot the 3 but that only works if you shoot it at a high percentage or you rebound your misses. That is not happening right now
Game is winnable but have to treat every possession like it’s the last. Can’t waste them and have to limit them. Have to figure out how to prevent them shooting 60%

24 attempts in one half is just stupid
Question for those close to this team. Which player on the roster takes over a huddle and lights a fire? Who is a vocal leader?
Is it an option to Crean him?
After 3 halves of uninspired, sluggish, unconnected play...one has to wonder what the NCAA tournament play will produce for this group. Playing at the bottom of the scale at the wrong time.
Goode hitting back to back treys is a good thing, but play in the paint seems missing in action. After a season of patting our transfers on the back and telling each other what great insight BU had, they have seemingly been used up and it is puzzling. Q, Harmon, and MD have made this team deep and dangerous...and then poof...they are producing nothing. Not laying any blame but just pointing out a consternation for which the answer is missing...as are they.
Still hoping the Fighting Illini will start a second half war dance. Yet having to do that and dig out of this kind of hole night after night is a recipe for yet another season with a disappointing ending. BU has got to understand that...and I hope finds the right buttons to push.

It’s not like Mast is a speed demon out there.
Coleman not healthy you can see it he is only playing hard in spurts. I just dont think he is 100 percent out there.
Yeah he doesn't look right.
Might be better to just save him for the dance at this point.
Lol. "Maybe attempt to play defense in 2nd half.."
MVP! MVP! MVP!
I’m perplexed why we didn’t run any sets for Dain in the post. He’s got the size advantage over their entire roster, and it could’ve opened the inside-out passes for open threes (rather than passing around the perimeter and chucking). I know Nebraska is clogging the lanes and forcing outside shots but at a certain point you have to put pressure on the defense and force the refs to blow the whistle
