Illini advance as Nebraska goes colder than an ex-wife's stare in second half
Illinois 98, Nebraska 87 Postgame
Not a great matchup for Nebraska style offensively.
I literally showered, listening to War Chant the entire time, and put on my Orange I-L-L
I-N-I shirt

Not a good match-up for him to play Mast and Nebraska likes to space a lot anyway. Expect a big dose of Dain tomorrow against Wisconsins bigs.
This team is remarkably good at making me hate them and then they win and I’m happy.
"It was the best of times ... " Love the Chuck Dickens stuff.
TSJ is just simply the best wing in America. Ty Rodgers was fantastic today as well Goode, Domask, and Quincy all had good moments too. Total team effort in that second half it wasn't all TSJ.

Might?
A lot of rec league all stars were full of negative comments in the first half. Pretty quiet now.
If you ever thought JW and TJ had beef during that entire ordeal.... You are mistaken.
That's fatherly love hug right there, bros. Every young man needs a hug like that.

Finally , the worm turned.....................A first half of indecision and sloppy play led us to a halftime deficit.....more indecision and sloppy play led us to a deficit of 15 points @ 55-40 early in the second half...........Then the turning began ......and how that worm turned and turned and turned.......we scored 58 points in the second half and won by 11 points at 98-87............What a comeback...
TSJ with 40 points establishing the single game high in a BTT basketball game.........He carried us when we needed it and we really needed it.........
Luke Goode with 4 three pointers and fantastic rebounding ..............
Ty , I believe , got another double double or came very close......
QG showed a heartbeat finally with great D and on O he had a 3 pt'er and some heavy duty play around the basket.......
Cohawk turned it on again at the end of the game with some important FT;s and a couple of blocks.......
Doc Domask had a better game than yesterday but he can do much much more........
Dain played , but didn't get the minutes that he did yesterday or the results.......
DLG played but didn't score for the little time he was in......
Harmon is waking up but still in a fog........
well pru , that was a big comeback by the beloved , but I never doubted them.....NEVER...........call you later , hun...........
chill babe , it's the best way to be when the Illini are playing......they have a ton of talent , a ton of heart and when the worm turns just look out...........be waiting for your call babe..................
we love this team..........we really really do.................................
yes we do...........Go Illini !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish we had 2-3 SHANNONS! Wouldn't it be great if we would try playing a full game from the tipoff instead of getting our butts kicked in 1st half? We will need to come out ready to battle tomorrow or Badgers will Kick our ,butts

I couldn't watch the game. I had to attend a play this afternoon. Downtown. 30-min drive both ways. It had three acts, lasted 3:30, had two intermissions, and was, to put it as mildly and politely as possible, soft-core Marxist porn masquerading as TRUTH. Sometimes a man's gotta do...
[An aside: for the Illini ladies who post here, please remind your husbands to kneel in heartfelt thanks for your affinity for college ball. And then give you a foot rub Jules Winfield stylz]
Anyway, I can't watch the replay yet and saw only the final score (and word of TSJ's 40-spot) without reading any of the post game thread. Awesome, decisive victory. Since we obviously must have clicked on all 12 cylinders for 40 mins I'm going to treat myself, sit back with two fingers of bourbon, and leisurely enjoy what I'm confident was a uniquely positive, uplifting game thread with nary a disparagement of any aspect of our hallowed program. I need it after the afternoon I've had.

Loved that he just pulled the trigger, Coleman needs to get back to that and move 2 ft closer to the 3pt line
CBS crew was slobbering all over Nebrasla the first half
When tthe momentum swittched in the secondd half the proverbial cattgot thei tonques and all theey could do was munch on somee crow.
