Illinois vs Nebraska Game Thread

[Huskerone]

We'll get a run, just hope there is enough time.

[jayschool]

Abrams, Hill and Coleman-Lands 9 of 12 from deep.

[atskooc]

We may lose by twenty. 

 

Shitty way to send Webby out. 

[nustudent]

2 pathetic performances in a row since the save Miles press run

[MichHusker]

Not one of Watson's better games at all

[Bugeaters1]

7 of 8 on treys.

[atskooc]

This is pretty embarrassing. 

[Bugeaters1]

Not going to be the Huskers night when a that has only 4 treys and then makes 1 to make it 5.

We run inbounds plays. They just result in us catching he ball forty feet from the basket. 

And sometimes even 80 feet.

Aren't Nebrasketball fans immune from shame?

[Cazzie22]

Illini have shooters and are playing better defense.  

[Dead Dog Alley]

We're not...we're not...we're not....good.

[RedEyedFanatic]

Man, morrow is killing us on offense tonight. Black hole with the ball

[PimpMario]

Coming into the the game Illinois was 207th in 3 point percentage

[atskooc]

We need to start pushing the ball up the court. 

[basketballjones]

Fellas... I see some people upset right now. Illinois is shooting over 50% from 3pt as I type this. They're just throwing the ball at the rim. 

[PimpMario]

Mass exodus. It's hard to blame people for leaving.

And we can't come close to that percentage taking open looks.

Seems like teams tend to throw the ball at rim with success against us every game.

They havent exactly been throwing stuff up with hands in their face.  When you get wide open looks most P5 teams will shoot a decent percent

[hskr4life]

Nothing you can do about 50% from downtown.  You could put everyone in the lane and most teams will not shoot 50 percent from downtown.

The Illini still have three more to go to beat their season high of 16 three-pointers vs. (wait for it) McKendree.

 

We guard better than McKendree.

Yeah sorry, that was tongue in cheek. Its a trend that has a lot to do with out defense. 

[PimpMario]

We are officially beyond a shadow of a doubt bad at 3 point defense

[cipsucks]

I'm really disappointed in the effort tonight.
