Call me crazy, but with the defense that the Illini run, this may be a good thing. There will most likely be a slightly different offensive scheme, tonight we're going to have to work this defense.

I know, but aside from the assists, all we're losing is sub 25% shooting. Granted, he is also a leader, but bad transition threes aren't a great way to lead.

sooooo....time to readjust that HHC score!

I don’t know if you have been watching the games, but in the rare instances when Cam is on the bench, our offense seems to, like, do nothing.  Like not get run.  And the folks looking at the bench to see if he’s coming back in, well, it’s palpable.

FYI, if we win tonight and then win out in the conference, and then win the Big Ten tournament, and then win the national championship, we can avoid our first-ever 20-loss season.

GO BIG RED!!

I crunched the numbers earlier. This is accurate.

That #21 for Chief Illiniwek is an absolute LOAD...!

Illinois is messing around. They really don't respect us

He was wearing a red uniform with a script "Nebraska" on it.

It's been a chore to watch this team. Excited for next year though.

[jayschool]

We need some power play opportunities for a little 5-on-4.
