Illinois (10-8) vs Nebraska (12-7) Game Thread

[hskr4life]

Wide open Big 19 really.  Just think... we’re ahead of Maryland right now and will be tied with Michigan if we beat them on Thursday!  Tied with Michigan!  Big game coming up.

Better figure out how to rebound.  Can't get beat on the boards 46-29 and expect to win.

Anyone got video of the Roby dunk/assassination attempt?

well, ya gotta win these kinds of games, too. but this team needs to step it up if it plans on going to the post season. They're living dangerously right now. 

That said, we usually lose games like this. 

Well put, sir. Balanced analysis for sure my man

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

I can sympathise for sure with this illini team. 

 

Unlike us, very well coached with a dynamite gameplay down the stretch.  better team than their record. Unlucky at the end.

This is college basketball.

that's pretty generous describing it as analysis!

 

it's mostly me concern trolling my own team. U hasn't really put together a good game since Northwestern, and even that was basically one half. 

 

On the other hand, I think I might be underrating the bottom half of the conference in terms of those teams' talent level and potential, too. We're down this year because the conference is young. But young talent does improve, and it's likely the teams we think of as "not good" were never going to stay that way for a whole season.

I will never complain about someone leaving early every again!  

He shut me up at the time... And then after Palmer's shot...

I know he will give me guff next game.

the year miles made the tourney, we won our 13th game on february 15th...

But, we've played four more games this year by 1/15 than that year because of Jim Delaney chasing his great white whale of the Big Ten Conference Tournament in MSG.  We were 8-8 on January 15 that year, 11-10 after 21 games.

Good Lord.  It’s only Jan 15th and we’ve played 7 frigging conference games.  We’ll see who has legs left in New York.

Don't know if it was off in time, but dear lord, their heave at the end was close...I wouldn't have even been that surprised honestly! Great win, big opportunity Thursday! 

[Huskerpapa]

And the tie-breaker would be in our favor!

I like that Palmer kid.

I like that Eshaunte Jones kid.

I like those Xanax pills stuff.

Everyone who lasted to the end of this thread deserves an up arrow. And I sincerely hope that anyone who left after Finke's four pointer got outside before the end.

.3 on the clock. They would not have counted that if it went in.
