Official Nebraska vs. Illinois Basketball Thread

[kenyanfeline]

Beating #25 Illinois 40-38 with 16:00 left.

Main storylines so far:

How we gonna fuck this one up?

Why does Kofi Cockburn pronounce his last name with a silent “k” sound?

Is it even fair to have a 7 foot, 290 lb ogre with zero percent muscle mass? Check that fucking monster for horse steroids.

Is Brad Underwood a closet homo?

Will Asian Steph Curry be our starting pg next year?

Cockburn missed a dunk earlier. The announcers laffed.

Are @BIGSTICK67 and I the only ones left on TPB who still get off on the pain of watching Nebraska basketball.

Yes, I can't watch.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Everyone slinks away when the men's teams are playing. Now the Illini are on a run, so I'm outta here.

 

[kenyanfeline]

Down 2 with 3:57 left for the 3 of you that give a shit.

Cockburn with 4 fouls.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

I give a shit, but can't handle the heartache when Illinois wins it on a buzzer beater.

RSS basketball threads are so bad I have PTSD when opening any basketball thread.

This one's way better LMAO.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Welp, probably stepping away from the keyboard boys after that 7-0 run. SMH.

Verge is not easy to cheer for. Dribbles too much, whines too much. Impossible to like

 

[Daddy]

Verge is unfathomably fucking bad at basketball. Kick him off the fucking team. Tonight.

Then fucking dribbles around for 15 seconds and shoots a shitty shot. I can't imagine what his teammates think.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Now he passes to a teammate when it doesn't matter. What a mockery.

Sorry I was too busy watching 2 girls 1 cup rather than Nebraska.... Cliffs?

Haven’t watched a game in over a month for this reason. Hard to believe this is year three of Hoiberg. How does he unfuck this mess he’s made? Or does he even deserve a chance too?

Played gritty and tougher than normal for a good part of the game.

Cockburn was frustrated and missed a couple dunks. Shot better from three point land. Verge dribbled around quite a bit. Derrick Walker tea bagged Cockburn a couple times. We rebounded better and had more clutch shots than normal. Illinois made a run when Cockburn was on the bench to seal the game.

Verge grabbed the ball after the game and dribbled it down the tunnel. The end.

Extension, hefty buyout, part of Hoiberg contract that was quietly revised in 2020

If the Huskers wanted to move on from Fred Hoiberg, an unannounced contract extension signed by Bill Moos makes Hoiberg's buyout costly.

Moos’s business acumen is the gift that keeps on giving… like herpes
