If Ayo is SO DAMN GOOD, and he has a whole team around him, how the hell is this team not better than this?

Thanks for the win, but I am so puzzled. What would have Nebraska have done to us if they had an Ayo?

Kofi was completely gassed the last 15 minutes of that game - and consequently ineffective. 3 front rim free throws in a row. Underwood needs to get Hawkins or Giorgi some tick just to let Kofi get a blow. Our 2nd half was like an iron 5.

Ayo time is starting to feel like Frankie time of old. He took over and sealed it with the dagger.

Still, this was really a strange game.

There was an element of luck involved...then there was the Ayo element. Thanks kid.

Kudos to Nebraska who played hard on both ends and made tough shot after tough shot...ridiculously tough. Illini did not come out prepared to play fast against the Husker offense or defense and dug a hole. That is on the coaches. Do your homework and give these kids what they need to start a game fast.
