Down 57-55 with 10 plus to go. They're at the line missing two.  We're about to go on a 9-2 run...

JL breaking down against that guard on penetration- he has to be tougher

I’m old enough to remember when Erick Strickland was suggesting Tominaga sit the bench after the Wisconsin game…

I think he definitely held his follow thru better than the last couple games.  Really evident on his free throws.  Just an observation 

[tcp]

need the dude that wants this one bad...

[tcp]

gone cold....and this is where the first half ref show bites us. kept illinois closer than they should have been

[HuskerFever]

Maybe it's just me, but I'm seeing our defense as a bigger liability right now than our shooting.

[tcp]

huge bucket by mast

[Huskerpapa]

We are still right there.  We need to make our open looks.

[HuskerBB]

CJ has gone cold tonight.    Need both him and Keisei to be hot to win games like this on the road.

The rebound differential has hurt us the worst 

[tcp]

well....we gotta find a hot hand soon...illinois on the edge of turning this into a clubbing...

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Finally Fred calls a timeout. 3 subs waiting a long time to try and get in
