HB Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 NU plus 5.5. Again, one would think the line would be higher with a home game against an 0-5 team ( kind of sound like Doc there, starting out with "again"). Vegas continues not to think much of us. Time to earn some respect, if not money. Red Don 1 Quote

Time to earn some respect, if not money. I think we should win and probably comfortably. However, we should have beaten Bucky by 10. How have we been closing out against pressure? Red Don 1 Quote

Cazzie22 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 The Illini will be tougher to beat than many believe. Brad Underwood can coach and they play aggressive defense. NU must play well to win tonight. Norm Peterson and Red Don 1 1 Quote
HuskerBB Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Yes this is harder than people may think. Illinois has some talent. 0-5 but 3 of those 5 games went to overtime. We can't just "expect" to win, Need to come out with a strong effort. HB, Norm Peterson and Red Don 3 Quote
uneblinstu Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Play hard, they'll run them out of the building. Give an effort like they did in the first half on Friday, it'll be a nail-biter. Red Don 1 Quote

They did in spurts, and when they did, they were clearly better than Illinois. Need to figure out how to sustain it. Quote

I think with Illinois and the harassing way they play, they speed up everything and it's extremely hard to maintain consistency. There will be spurts where you're able to harness the speed (steals and converting fast breaks), but other periods where you bog down just from trying to catch your breath and let your legs recover a bit. Even during the good spurts, I thought NU was a little out of control. Pressuring defense can do that to you. Quote
