All the !!!! I talk on Goode during games, I love that kid. The greatest “long rebound near the free throw line” grabber in basketball history.
Illinois 98, Nebraska 87 Postgame
I was at baseball practice watching with a bad Hulu in the second half. What were the adjustments or did our shot just go in and theirs cooled off
3 seed it is
Down 55-40 during the second half. Outscored the opponent 58-32 from there.
For those who said this game was over at half, I have one thing to say...
Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Congratulations Fighting Illini players & coaches on a tough win. Not your father's Nebraska men's basketball program, they are the real deal. This Illinois team should be good enough to get to the second weekend of the NCAA (finally after 8 tournaments). Let's beat those Badgers tomorrow, I-L-L....I-N-I!!!!
Was about to apologize for my earlier attitude. And then Nebraska scores 12 points in 70 seconds. So we get the win and Brad still gets to be mad at his team.
Incredible effort in the second half. Showed another gear that most teams don’t have.
Shannon-Tominaga matchup should bring some folks back to planet earth - literally there were media people who believed the two are separated by just a couple of players in this conference. Come on man.

Incredible 2nd half. Absolutely positively Incredible. TSJ otherworldly. Ty absolutely nails, Goode clutch, Marcus surgical, Cohawk looking real. Weird how the B10 started this game after halftime as I have no recollection of a 1st half being played.
That was one hell of a championship effort that 2nd half. Bottle that for a full 40 for 6 games and we won't end this season with a loss. Special special performance that half.

Hopefully, our coaching staff takes the time next week to work in practice on putting in some sort of scheme to handle full-court pressure. Tominaga and Hoiberg are out there, and we are struggling badly. That is really, really worrisome: if I was coaching against Illinois and saw film of this game (and Penn State ...), I know what I'd be getting ready to do.
I want to match all the post game comments with the in thread comments. A lot of “fans” on here should be ashamed.
Never had a doubt
Effort and conditioning! And TSJ!
For the 2nd game in a row
. . . another win against a team on a winning roll, very similar to Ohio State. This is a sign of a solid team. Let's keep it rolling.
Missed most of the first half, but managed to catch almost all of the second. I'm just gonna call that good planning.
And who says Brad does not make in game adjustments.

Guilty as charged, I redact my 1st half comments and am adjusting lithium levels for remainder of March ( and hopefully some April)
