Game Thread Nebraska @ Illinois [5:30pm BTN] (4 Viewers)

Team is absolutely shot. That Wilcher shot choice was abysmal on the last possession. That’s a good TO from Fred- they need to make their push like now. Afraid they missed the window.

They both look exhausted right now

I wonder if they come back to Lincoln for a few days, or just stay in Chicago.

How is that Illinois ball?!?

 

[EwokRhuler]

Offense needs to wake up now or this is GG

 

[Herbie]

This team is incredibly bad when cold. They don’t give opponents much D either.

 

[stonesak]

Well, good effort, just too many lapses on d in the second half.

[EwokRhuler]

Jesus tapdancing Christ can we fucking rebound?

 

[Herbie]

Does Nebraska give up the most offensive rebounds in the country?

It's really a heat check team. We generally don't out hustle teams - we don't beat B1G teams on the boards and we don't win 50-50 loose balls (other than Sam H and sometimes Gary).

If you don't do those 2 things, you can't really win these types of games. Unless the offense gets so hot it overcompensates for it.

What a flop

We can't really win these types of games unless the offense gets so hot that it overcompensates for the fact we always lose in the 2 hustle categories.

Brutal

 

[HCFord1]

That was a HARD foul

 

[Seaofred92]

This is the most cojones we’ve showed on the road all year. Come a long way from Rutgers. Lets somehow pull this out

 

[DrinkItIn]

Can’t fault the effort in this one.

 

[Goskers07]

If you'd have told me that we'd only be down by 1 at the 30 second mark, I'd have called you a liar. Gutsy game by the good guys.

 

[EwokRhuler]

Incredible that we're within 1 with how sloppy we've played

 

[EwokRhuler]

oh shit.....

 

[Goskers07]

How we didn't get called for like 3 fouls there idk, but I'll take it.

 

[HCFord1]

Hawkins is such a flopping bitch lol
