Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[blife]

Everyone is way overthinking their shot when they get an open look. Just shoot the Fing ball, it's a basketball game that you have been playing your entire life. They are shooting with the thought "am I gonna make this". Not good.

CoHawk, Harmon, and Guerrier a combined 2 for 11, 4pts, 2 rebs, and a whole bunch of zeroes

Nebraska looks like a final 4 team!

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Pray,,anything is possible

 

[john1952]

We have that effect on people

If we lose, we will have identical records as Nebraska. Yikes.

Nebraska looks like a final 4 team!

They seriously do. I’m picking them to go further than any other BIG team in my bracket

Some life from Guerrier.

So...either Nebraska is going to make a NCAA run....or we are done first weekend.


I'll let you decide.

Not going to take the time to make this an analysis as usual. But this is why Illinois is better without Coleman. TSJ is a star player type but he plays all game. Will comment further after the game but smfh. I love him overall and has some great moments but star players are NOT consistently inconsistent. That’s the point.

Tominaga flops everytime someone plays good defense on him

 

[My2Cents]

Mast with 3 yessssssssss

 

[Yes33]

Do we not think getting Dainja post and pounding the ball inside a little bit might be a nice change?

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Coleman reverting back to his old ways is quite concerning

I find it admirable that he doesn’t want to mislead NBA scouts about what they’d be getting.

And with 17 minutes left in the game, the effort has shown up

 

[JJE]

Now a the time to make a run. Shift momentum.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Our effort is looking better now. Making a run. Can we keep this up

 

[Yes33]

Plenty of time, we just have no rhythm.

 

[Dominant Erupt]

Gigantic missed goaltend

 

[abchew2]

We dodged a real bullet on that sequence

 

[LoveLovie]

Gigantic missed goaltend

In two straight games
