Eastern Illinois (0-0) Vs. Nebraska (0-0) Game Thread

[swoof]

29-27 good guys. Roby with 6 points, 5 rebounds, 4 blocks AND no turnovers.

[FredsSlacks]

if roby plays like this we are going to be good

[hskr4life]

no rhythm....

[hskr4life]

Eastern Illinois sounds decent.  They did beat Illinois in exhibition.  Still should run away in second half.

Someone needs to tell these guys we can see what is going on.  They don't need to do a horrific job of a radio broadcast.

Only up 1 at the half? What’s going on? Stagnant offense again?

We're not very good right now.   Some nice pieces, but not a good team

Haven't finished at the rim.  30% from 3 land.  Not absolutely terrible, but not great.  Eastern Illinois sounds decent.... not great... but decent.  Should (Could) run away with it in the second half.

Now watching kids play. Sort of entertaining when you throw only 1 black kid out there and see what happens ? tbh they're really good for kids. It's probably what it's gonna feel like height wise once we hit the big 10

EIU beat Missouri last year and has 3 of their top scorers back. they are a decent team.

[royalfan]

We don't have a good understanding of how to take advantage of the size edge.  This team can shoot okay.  We can't just settle for a jump shooting contest in this one.  Love the rim is what we need to do.

They were also a 14-15 Ohio Valley team and lost to a D2 team the other night.   Let's define decent.

Illinois isnt expected to be very good

[hskr4life]

The season is certainly here!!  Kent and the Color guy obviously agree that they are a "good team."  

[hskr4life]

Missing FT's!  Good Lord.

[nustudent]

Jordy and Watson have been bad tonight

[hskr4life]

5-13 freethrows.

[hskr4life]

Jordy is strugggllingggg....

[brfrad]

0-4 from the line, and 2 missed lay-ups to start the half.  Not good. 

[Red Don]

Jordy's got to make some of those.

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Bit of a.... bad FT % there, guys! 6/15 (40%) ain't great. 

[hskr4life]

The opportunity is there this year.  We certainly have the talent.  We need to gel a little more though.

Seems like the signature of every start of the husker season. It's depressing but I hope we can buck it. It's practice, but more than that it's mental. Simple fix.

I can already see this is going down to the wire.
