Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

I mean this is just an all time heater combined with terrible defense
Hot shooter - get in his shorts and do not leave him. Deny him the ball. If he cuts to the rim, that's the rim protector's problem.
But we sag and switch. SMH.

Pryce Sanford is apparently faster, longer and more athletic than any player on the Illini based on how open he is getting.
Or, our effort is pathetic.

At some point you've got to adjust.
And that was like 15 points ago for Sandfort
THIS IS NOT DIFFICULT …
DO. NOT. LEAVE. HIM.
Anyone but HIM !!!!!!!

Maybe Petro can break this zone down? Hell, gotta try something.
This is unbelievable. So sick of the career days against us
All time? Second one we've allowed this week.
6 points, 3 assists for Wagler to lead in both categories. Rest of team just two assists.
The shooting is just comical right now for them.

this is like junior coaching- and it's on Underwood and the guys- if a dude is feeling himself like you- you're literally in his jock strap- no space between you and him. Last play, Wagler WAY off a dude that is ON FIRE> that's just unacceptable on so many levels.
almost everyone is a dumpster fire on defense, yeah sag off the guy shooting 95% right now. they dont think
Seems like we are just passing off Sandfort with no thought or urgency when they switch. Reminds of the game at Washington last year where a bench dude turned into Steph Curry and we couldn't seem to find him ever.
Sandfort isnt creating his own 3s. How about you don't help off him no matter what!
I still think we win this but too 3 pt focused at the beginning (again) and a questionable approach on defense to start the game.
I’m not worried. Nebraska will be shooting at the tinier hoop the second half.
When it happens every single game, it's an us problem. You let a D1 player get some early confidence by not closing out hard, or even not guarding him at all, they are going to go off. We see it Every. Single. Game.
Honestly, if he scores 55 and we lose, hats off. There's just no preparation for this. Guys don't do this in shoot around.
Sandfort was 2 for 10 last year against Illinois i
God this blog is getting annoying. The guy is jacking them, this is simply an incredible shooting performance. Slow starts happen. Unlike past teams we havent folded and are going blow for blow and sticking around (remember rutgers last year). Want us to be up on everyone by 10 points going into the half? That will never happen.
