Lol did he start taking more responsibility mid season?

They also seem like they're over pressuring and allowing too much dribble penetration which is creating too many open looks though I will admit Nebraska did knock down a few 3s off of a few scramble plays with loose balls.

Would honestly like to see them use their length and athleticism more and trap more often. There is no reason this team shouldn't be forcing more turnovers.

Bad:
- Offensive flow stopped with about 3 minutes left in regulation and never really started again.
- Turnovers kept blowing up any momentum they could get. All second half they were 1-2 good plays away from putting the game away and kept giving NE chances.
- FT misses at bad times
- Missed about 15 wide open threes

Good:
- Defensively, kept NE shooting long 2's and contested 3's, which was strategically sound even if NE hit about 50% on long jumpshots and got lucky with a bunch of botched plays offensively.
- Rebounding saved them, offensively and defensively
- For the first 17 minutes of the second half, the offense was doing really good things. Need to replicate that and then have nights where open 3's are falling.
- Just about everything that could break Nebraska's way offensively and defensively did, and they still couldn't win.

This win is for my big brother (74) who I lost this morning to a heart attack, the guy who initiated my passion for all things Illini. He’s the reason I went to Illinois as he was a senior when I was a freshman. There ya go, Charlie! This one’s for you! 🧡 💙

Condolences to you and your family. At least you were able to see a W that hopefully reminded you of good memories with your brother.

We need a new DC ...

We need new out-of-bounds plays ...

We need to practice in bounding the ball ...

Less 3s please ...

All that being said ... Win is a win ... Would rather learn from a win than a loss ...

On to the next ...

Goode was 0-6 from 3. 0-6 for game. Harmon 0-4.
I do not understand coming out in 2nd half we drove to the lane, passed and had easy layups. Then we quit doing that and reverted to hero ball.
I think this was a horribly coached game by our entire staff. Nebraska is much improved, but this performance especially defensively was junk! We've got to get back to locking down on defensive end. We won't come close to winning Big10 Title playing like We've played.

Fortunate to pull this one out. Don’t understand from the 10 point lead on. Brad sitting on his hands. Multiple possessions dribbling around the perimeter and launching a bad 3 as the shot clock expires, not using fouls to give and then giving one at half court. Fouling there best shooter. Abandoned going to the rim.This team is better than that. Shout out to Ty for clutch rebounding. We need to get back to playing like we did against FAU to make a deep tournament run.🏃‍♂️

With a ten-point lead, have DD, CH, TY or MD post the damn ball up and take it inside. If you're going to shoot three-pointers anyway, might as well fan the ball back out for more of an open three-pointer then.

What a way to LIMP to a victory.........I really really really mean that........played not to lose the last 3 minutes of regulation instead of continuing the play that got us that 10 point lead...........I never have liked that 5 out of bounds in bounds play....to many feet and bodies in a confined area...........with that all said , hells yeah , we won the GD game........

Tied for second in the B$G.............................I will NOT pay any attention to doomsday chatter as I am exhausted and have sweated through my Illini tee shirt......So has NL #3....she looks better in sweaty clothes than I do....she really really does.......

we had numerous players in double digit points or rebounds.........Whew , that was exciting but nervewracking to the nth degree.......

BU post game radio presser.....................

nebby is a tourney team ...............no doubt...................
we didn't shoot it very well , but we found a way......
Ty was the difference in the game.................
we did a good job on wilcher........
we don't like to call timeout with 10 seconds to go..............
Justin with 2 great FT's..................
we just missed wide open 3's......we are one of the better shooting teams out there...we really really are.......
we love it when the defense cross matches with Ty.......offensive rebounding is his specialty.......
we have many many things to work on and clean up...............out of bounds plays are # 1.............
single greatest league put on this planet.......no such thing as a bad win ( I agree coach )....................
