Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[IlliniFan42]

Complete grit from Jake Davis

 

[FoundersClub]

Is Mirk ever in control?

 

[NASchamp]

That guy looks like a straight up caveman

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Illinois has no answer to this zone. At all. Just what they're trying to do with it looks like they have had no prep with it

Good hustle by Jake bailed out on last possession for wide open Boswell three

 

[Jon]

Can you call time out in mid air?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Mirkovic is maddening. EVERY SINGLE GAME THE SAME EXACT PLAY.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

I thought you couldn't take timeouts while going out of bounds anymore.

 

[TonyClifton]

Mirkovic, maybe don't lead the break

 

[blife]

that is not a time out

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Mirkovic needs to never handle the ball. Nothing good comes out of it....ever.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I hate those timeouts being allowed, but they are playing harder than we are.

 

[BrownTown]

Mirk driving up the court against P4 IS A WALKING TURNOVER. g

 

[dwpittman]

Who just got teabagged?

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

Mirk is going to absolutely drive me insane. He's not a smart basketball player AT ALL.

 

[The pop of Champaign]

I’m going to enjoy when the Illini come back to beat these dorks

 

[BBlock24]

Mirkovic is maddening. EVERY SINGLE GAME THE SAME EXACT PLAY.

He is SO slow too.

 

[eas23]

There was never a point where Mirkovic wasn't going to turn that over.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Call time out while kicking a teammate in the teeth. Stupid rule.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

That! Guards need to drive the ball and if they don't put in Mihailo and let him try.

Seems like petro would be perfect for this zone

 

[Coop70]

Guess it's a live by the three die by the three kinda thing.

 

[Battle89]

Am really nervous about this as a trap game. I hope they hit open shots so I can step back from the ledge.

Wish you had been more specific on the ‘they’

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Wow...just wow

 

[ChiIllini75]

I thought the "call timeout after jumping" wasn't a thing anymore? I think this happened against Alabama too, so did they change it back to the old rule?

 

[ejam21]

I love mirkovic, but idk why he insists on running hte break. I dont think ive seen it not end in a turnover or almost turnover even once this year

 

[Illinisnake]

That’s why Jake Davis should get minutes, rolebounding. At least he will play hard compared to some of these zero energy guys
