But look who they beat, all bottom feeders.Nebraska’s last 8 games:
7-1 (7th in Torvik over that span. Purdue is 10th in the same timeframe)
79-59 over Michigan
68-49 over Penn St
85-70 over @Indiana
73-55 over Minnesota
69-78 loss @Ohio St
67-56 over Rutgers
85-70 over @Michigan
93-66 over Indiana
Average margin of victory: 14.5
This won’t be easy. But I believe in our guys.
Made me think of the movie "Remember the Titans" when the coach said to his player...."Shut them up" or something along those lines. I'm with you, nothing dirty or un- sportsman like but for sure physical!!!I'd throw DGL out early on Tominaga and tell him to get physical. You can't let him get comfy again today. Give up some fouls but make him uncomfortable early.
DGL is a little too little for that.I'd throw DGL out early on Tominaga and tell him to get physical. You can't let him get comfy again today. Give up some fouls but make him uncomfortable early.
That’s with three minutes to go. We’ll end up winning 79-78.Illinois 77-69

I'm thinking Elite 8 chances. Avoid the 1 seed as long as possible.NET 31, would be a middle Quad 1 win on a neutral court. Probably enough to get to a 3 with the teams above that faltered, huge implications for the Illini's Sweet 16 chances. Big game.

No such thing!I'm planning on being too buzzed to read the game thread, but not so buzzed I can't watch the game
That's the purest example of "win-win" I've seen this year. (Literally) 100 cocktails to you, sir!No such thing!
I’ll literally be watching this one on my phone at our friend’s kid’s fourth birthday party, lol. Two things working in my favor in this situation:
1) My son is only three months old and obviously cannot “play,” so I will “need to sit by the stroller” with him watching the game while my wife mingles.
2) Apparently this kid’s play place does serve beverages for the adults!
Let’s do one better!!Ok, guess today is script whites with the orange flyin Illini jerseys saved for our win over Purdue.
I'm on a work trip in Taiwan. It's currently 12:37am. Going to catch a few hours sleep during the Purdue game, wake up, watch Illinois win, roll back over, and hope I don't oversleep for my flight back home tomorrow! At any rate, the intermittent sleep tonight might help with the jet lag when I get back? Maybe?No such thing!

When you go 3 for 16, there's not really much that can happen to be considered ok in a game. He was really bad and that's ok.Hopefully Domask's shots fall tomorrow. I think he played ok.
My rule when flying east from East Asia: get on the plane as exhausted as possible while still functional, go to sleep the minute wheels are up, wake up around 5-6 hometown local time. This minimizes post-trip JL. Good luck, and enjoy the game!I'm on a work trip in Taiwan. It's currently 12:37am.

Did you our game against them, at home, this year?If we, as a top 15 team in the country, are worried about Nebraska then we don't deserve to make a big run in the tourney this year.
We should dog walk 'em
If we hold them to 69, things are really looking up going forward. I think this game will be played in int 80's, if not 90's.Illinois 77-69
He was terrible, Hawkins was terrible, Harmon was terrible, Guerrier was MIA, it's amazing we got away with it yesterday.When you go 3 for 16, there's not really much that can happen to be considered ok in a game. He was really bad and that's ok.
I suspect he'll get back on track today.
