Nebraska (16-6) vs. Illinois (16-5) Game Thread

[Huskerpapa]

Hate that we lost two hustle plays.  We are doing okay...need to keep the foot on the accelerator.

[brfrad]

Nice to see the refs being consistent.   Consistently bad.  How do you allow the Illinois guy to tackle Gary.

[Cazzie22]

We are defending and holding our own on the boards.

[cipsucks]

Here's what's going to happen, because it usually does:  Illinois will go on a run, might be 10-0, might be 12-2.  Doesn't matter. Don't sweat it.

Tominaga just buried a three and didn’t have a nice follow through on his form -

Alot of his shots are that way.

[Huskerpapa]

They are getting a lot of free throws

Yep. Pointing it out because a couple of people on this board suggested after the Wisconsin game they knew what was wrong with his form. Erick Strickland even devoted time to try and explain what he needed to change to start making them. Laughable.

Up three. Need a basket!

need more people scoring....KT goes cold we're in trouble

Seems like Hawkins has been at Illinois about as long as Davsion was at Wisconsin.

 

[hskr4life]

Needed that bucket!

[hskr4life]

They get a foul on every drive…

[REDZONEDAN]

I wish we could get some of these bullshit calls that Illinois gets.

7-3

[Huskerpapa]

Yeah, the technical phenomenon is catching up to us.  We just need to stay aggressive.   

[Bugeaters1]

While all of our drives have the ball knocked loose and no foul.

 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Illinois is just blatantly holding Wilcher 

[tcp]

7-3 on fouls? really? I smell a ref show coming...

A lot by us to non existent against Illinois.  I think 7 - 3.

[cipsucks]

Up 1. 28-27 with 4 plus to go in the first half.  Ugly game so far.  Huskers go on a 12-4 run to end the half.  GBR!

illinois getting too much ft action...they're shooting like crap, but getting bailed like crazy
